38 MacDougal (From the hype sticker): "Record Store Day Black Friday 2020 Limited edition of 1000. Shortly after walking out on the tense, unfinished sessions for what was to be his debut album, “Bleeker & MacDougal”, an afternoon of informal music making took place in the living room of Peter Childs’ and John Sebastian’s Greenwich Village apartment. Recorded on Ampex reel to reel and stored for over 50 years, this previously unreleased performance captures Fred Neil at the height of his powers, relaxed and unguarded. An opportunity to eavesdrop on the legendary singer-songwriter and his long-time friend and accompanist Peter Childs, making music for the pure joy of it." |

Note: *The Airplane had this song in their repertoire from the beginning.
Great Influencer Fred was instrumental in the early careers of folkies in New York, like Stephen Stills, Buzzy Linhart, Tim Hardin, John Sebastian, and Tim Buckley. Later, he was a frequent visitor to 2400 Fulton Street. In fact, the Airplane's The Ballad Of You & Me & Pooneil and the Spoonful song Coconut Grove were tributes to Fred. |
