Classic Records 45 Series. Special ONE-SIDED pressing. QUIEX SV-P Super Vinyl Profile - Four Discs.

"The music stands as some of the greatest to be produced by the early-'70s West Coast scene."

Highly collectable release from audiophile label, Classic Records. This title was mastered at half speed from the original source master tapes, then cut at 45 RPM on heavy weight, high quality all-virgin vinyl. Classic used a proprietary vinyl that guaranteed virtually no surface noise and sonically superior dynamics. An all-analog, tube amplification process was used at every step.

Each Classic Records reissue featured all original artwork printed on heavy, high quality board, LP labels and any other materials which were included with original pressings.

In short, this is as good as this album is ever going to sound and look on vinyl. Don't wait... this four record set is long out of print and growing harder to find.

Condition: (All Four Records) are new and still sealed in their original plastic sleeve. Perforation is completely intact. Corners are sharp and unbent. Spines, tops and bottoms are solid and free of chipping or splits. Mint.

Review: For his highly anticipated 1971 solo debut, David Crosby recorded a unique, eclectic, and willfully expansive album. The cream of early-70s California rock is assembled here, with the various celebrities joining together in an organic, collective approach that's embodied in the opener, the free-spirited jam of "Music Is Love." Throughout the record, Crosby moves from the sauntering Western shuffle of "Cowboy Movie" to the wondrously spiritual harmonies of "Tamalpais High (At About 3)" and, eventually, the hallowed chants of "I'd Swear There Was Somebody Here."

Musically the album has an exploratory, almost jazzy feel, with its bright production cloaking the listener in acoustic strains and lush, layered harmonies. These qualities perfectly evoke the relaxed, hazy California lifestyle of the time. For all its dreaminess though, IF I COULD ONLY REMEMBER MY NAME rarely missteps, and the haunting melancholy of songs like "Laughing" and "Orleans" give the record a depth and durability that surpasses other recordings of the time. The result is an excellent, highly underrated album.
