Spacecadet (my hubby) thrifted two albums in great condition.
They are:
Buffalo Springfield: Retropsective
Canned Heat: Collage
The Canned Heat is good, standard stuff. I'm not crazy about it. Hubby make like it.
But: The Springfield is MIRACULOUS! Has anybody else heard this album (recently?
) It came out in '69. It's ATCO SD 33-283. The music is just incredible. The cover art work is tripping. But the music...kinda English Beat with an American groove. I can't describe it, but it beautifully captures the times (YES, I WAS THERE)
Does anybody know anything about them? I, of course, do remember "FWIW", which is the first song on the first side, but there is sooooooo much more to this album. A lot of the songs appear to have been written by Neil Young and Steven Stills.
The back blurb reads:
"Of all the groups to have emerged in America in the middle sixties, Buffalo Springfield will be remembered as one of the most creative and exciting. The very power of the individual writing and performing talents of the members was also the reason for the break-up of the original group. It was comprised of Steve Stills, Neil Young, Richie Furay, Dewy Martin and Bruce Palmer, later replaced by Jim Messina. More will be heard from all of them.
Contained herein are some of the outstanding recordings in their original format..." Signed, Ahmet Ertegun. I'm listening to it now. It is a classic! Nice catch, Spacecadet
More pudding for you tonight!
