Description

“Don’t Cut the Baby in Half” Private Pressing #56-6687. This review is taken from Ken Scott’s book “Vintage Vinyl Jesus Music.” Just when you thought your John Ylvisaker collection might be nearing completion here comes this excruciatingly rare custom recording that reportedly has only a 100-200 press. Many of the songs here are early acoustic renderings of titles that would later appear on his Avant Garde albums: ‘The Prophecy,’ ‘Joseph,’ ‘Desolation,’ ‘Rich Young Ruler,’ ‘Water of Life,’ ‘They Can’t Kill Me,’ ‘Noise of Solemn Assemblies.’ The performance features 12-string guitar plus flute, bass, percussion, and a second male harmony. Side two introduces several otherwise unavailable cuts like ‘Anxiety,’ ‘The Noodle in the Alphabet Soup,’ and the title track.[From the record] Cool Livin’ is ‘A Man and his Dog’ (here it’s entitled ‘Dog Spelled Backwards.’). Portions sound live before an audience with the verbal songs intros preserved (he introduces ‘He’s Got the Whole Baby in His Hands’ as having “what they used to call a ‘nigger beat’ – they don’t call it that anymore”). Closes with a sing-along to the tune of ‘Michael Row the Boat Ashore,’ after which John says “well that’s it,” followed by audience applause. For those who don’t mind their Ylvisaker unplugged, this makes for another fine entry to his varied and distinguished catalog. Also includes a lyric sheet that includes some of the songs from the LP and some which are not. Both the vinyl & cover are in VG++ condition. Vinyl has very light sleeve scuffs. Cover has a light mark in the upper right on the front. All seams are intact.
