It's odd how obscure major-label records can sometimes be. I've never seen the LP below in all the many years I've wasted poking through record bins, even though it was on Atlantic (it was released in '72, right after "Close to the Edge"). Has anybody heard it? Is it any good?

Almost bought a family-friendly Mormon video by accident today because I misread "LDS missionary" as "LSD missionary."

Nice to see someone put this up on youtube -- this was recorded live on my show 21 years ago. Makes me realize I should've asked people to play live more often over the years -- too bad I'm such a lazy stick-in-the-mud.
