WHAT ?!?!  You didn’t know that Jimi Hendrix played on Stephen Stills' first solo album?

 

SHAME!!!

 

Did you know that Eric Clapton ALSO played on the Stills' first album? You did not?!? Double shame and triple disgrace!!!  Infamy squared !!!. You have the right to remain silent !

 

Anyhow, this is believed to be the only encounter of the two guitar Gods in studio (the two have previously jammed on stage); presumably, the two DID meet in studio, rather than simply provide their contributions via tapes.

 

The stellar session crew includes: Stephen Stills, Jimi Hendrix, Calvin "Fuzzy" Samuels, David Crosby, "Mama" Cass Elliot (who served as a backing vocalist, principal match-maker, life of the party, and the chief rumormonger during the sessions), Booker T. Jones , Dallas Taylor, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Graham Nash, Rita Coolidge and John Sebastian. Presumably, God himself  (no,no…we didn’t  mean: Eric Clapton) was present in the studio when this was recorded. We have no idea what God may have played, but whatever it was, he surely had some tough competition from his fellow (guitar) Gods.J

·                               CONDITION:

 

·                               THE RECORD

 

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

 

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG++ and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial  and only moderately visually distracting (nothing significant).For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

 

(b)            The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

 

(c)           The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

 

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

 

 

·                               THE COVER

 

COVER IS NEAR MINT,  STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP  (A  PIECE OF SHRINK WRAP IS MISSING)

 

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

 

-        Cover has a gold RIAA award  sticker /label, which may be possible to remove with a little effort (we did not attempt to)

 

-        Cover has some light ring wear in one small area not covered by the shrink wrap (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 1.

 

-         Cover shows some light yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.

 

-         Cover has a small cutout saw-mark (an indent about 3-5 mm long ) on one of its seams.

 

-         Cover has two corners slightly worn / frayed / bent (just a beginning of the split seams)

 

 

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
