LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Fred Neil, you have to love him... and it's not just us, David Crosby, John Sebastian, Paul Kantner, Stephen Stills and a whole skipload of superstars were inspired by Fred, and remain absolutely besotted fans! Yes, once more we proudly present the genius of Fred Neil, this time live! BUT, we include not only the studio/live album "Other Side Of This Life" (itself the remnant of a grandiose live/duets project) but, get this, four completely forgotten songs from a live show at the Bitter End club in 1963 cut just before the recording of his debut album (with Vince Martin) for Elektra! Fred's FIRST released recordings. These songs were only EVER released on two various artists folk compilations and seemingly were COMPLETELY forgotten! They have NEVER re-emerged! A major rediscovery? You bet! A snapshot of the Greenwich Village folk scene before anyone was anyone? Oh yes! Together with a 1971 show in front of an audience of music business luminaries and superstar fans and the remnants of the duets section featuring David Crosby, Gram Parsons, Stephen Stills, Vince Martin... Fred's LAST released recordings! This is an important release EVERYONE must have! ** Fred Neil live - the complete 1971 Elephant club show and the 1963 Len Chandler/Bitter End shows! ** Features a raft of Fred's celebrity fans both as audience and performers! ** The 1963 Bitter End show is legendary and has NEVER been on CD, in fact was only ever on FM Records folk compilations in 1963/64! ** Beautifully remastered and packaged in the usual Rev-Ola style! ** A must for all fans of Fred Neil, naturally, but fans of folk, folk rock, songwriting and let's face it, anyone who ever had a heart!!!!
