David Crosby's debut solo album, If I Could Only Remember My Name is a one-shot wonder of dreamy but ominous California ambience. The songs range from brief snapshots of inspiration (the angelic chorale-vocal showcase on "Orleans" and the a cappella closer, "I'd Swear There Was Somebody Here") to the full-blown, rambling western epic "Cowboy Movie," and there are absolutely no false notes struck or missteps taken. No one before or since has gotten as much mileage out of a wordless vocal as Crosby does on "Tamalpais High (At About 3)" and "Song With No Words (Tree With No Leaves)," and because the music is so relaxed, each song turns into its own panoramic vista. Those who don't go for trippy Aquarian sentiment, however, may be slightly put off by the obscure, cosmic storytelling of the gorgeous "Laughing" or the ambiguous (but pointed) social questioning of "What Are Their Names," but in actuality it is an incredibly focused album. Even when a song as pretty as "Traction in the Rain" shimmers with its picked guitars and autoharp, the album is coated in a distinct, persistent menace that is impossible to shake. It is a shame that Crosby would continue to descend throughout the remainder of the decade and the beginning of the next into aimless drug addiction, and that he would not issue another solo album until 18 years later. As it is, If I Could Only Remember My Name is a shambolic masterpiece, meandering but transcendentally so, full of frayed threads. Not only is it among the finest splinter albums out of the CSNY diaspora, it is one of the defining moments of hungover spirituality from the era.

 (EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY STANTON SWIHART, ALL MUSIC GUIDE  /ALLMUSIC.COM/)

Which studio album features the entire Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, practically the entire Grateful Dead, practically the entire Jefferson Airplane, one third of Santana, plus Joni Mitchell (whoa!!! - now that's what we call a line-up!). Woodstock festival?!? Why, of course not - it's not a studio album. Or, maybe Jefferson Airplane's "Surrealistic Pillow"? Wrong again - it only features Airplane plus Jerry Garcia; or maybe Ned Lagin’s  1974 "Seastones" with various members of Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane? Nah…not that one, either: it has no CSN&Y members on it.

If you answered David Crosby's first album: "If I could only remember my name" you were, of course, correct. The album is a major minor-key masterpiece: if you liked David Crosby's moody, brooding, delicate "Everybody's been burned" from the Byrds 1967 "Younger than yesterday" album, you are going to sleep with this album under your pillow. Guaranteed.

·                               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  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

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

(c)           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!

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

·                               THE COVER

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Cover has a cutout saw-mark (an indent about 4/5" / 2 cm long ) on one of its seams.

-        Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear (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.

-        Visible shelf wear noted on the seams

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
