That excerpt makes it sound like the Coffee Plant stuff was recorded prior to the inspiration for "Garbo." Is it possible the Coffee Plant material wasn't actually recorded in Morris Buckingham's coffee plant?

From the Lindsey biography at The Penguin, which doesn't mention the Coffee Plant thing:

These demos would probably be along the lines of what the Sonic Past information describes. But it's all a bunch of "he said"/"she said."

If only David were around, he might have a frighteningly accurate timeline to go by!

Fritz disbanded in 1970 and not long after Lindsey and Stevie left for LA. They were barely there when they had to head back again because Lindsey caught mono, which wouldn't do them any good in expensive LA. Back in the Bay Area, where Lindsey was slowly recuperating (which took a long time) they used the coffee plant during the night to record the demos. So, most of 1971. They headed back late '71, early '72.

I've always believed that Stevie wrote After the Glitter Fades after that cover shoot, and she's just mixing up Garbo with ATGF. I think Garbo was written when they were first in LA for that short time and she discovered what a whole different world it was. (and they had been in LA with Fritz for a short while also...staying at the Tropicana

)

Exactly. I am speechless and lying on the floor reaching up to type this from when I fell off my chair (no, not really, but my jaw dropped) and still am in shock this is really happening. Somebody pinch me.

This just doesn't make any sense. I mean, Buckingham Nicks is already an obscure album that I'm guessing most people don't even know was ever made. Why would they release something even more obscure before they put out the actual Buckingham Nicks album?

This would be pretty cool.....

thanks for the info.

Keith Olsen might own these masters while S&L own Buckingham Nicks.

Me too. I don't care if it is. I'm ecstatic to hear these remastered and hopefully mostly hiss free.

They did it live at those shows in the South. Maybe they intended to put it on BN2?

I love that song! Especially the devil's chambermaid line. I wonder what kind of sexy role playing was involved in Lindsey (probably) referring to Ms. Stepahnie as the devil's chamber maid?

They stayed at The Trop? Holy cow. I can't even imagine La Nicks staying at The Trop.

ahhh. I keep forgetting about things like this.

I think that's weird, but it's just my ignorance on the subject.

Or it could be whomever acquired Polydor's collections of masters.

This is very exciting news!

Several years ago, there was a similar release for Madonna. Her early collaborator, Stephen Bray, owned the rights to the recordings and released an "unauthorized" compilation.

There have also been similar releases of David Bowie's early Deram recordings.

yeah, I remember when a guy that produced some of Christina Aguilera's early demos put an album out. she allowed him to release it with a disclaimer written by her on the liner notes stating they were very raw demos.

Now put these two thoughts together.
