Dear folks,

As this is my favorite Green-era record (yes, even more so than TPO) I think I’ll be buying this book.

As confirmed by Robert Schaffner the release date has been postponed to December 6 for the US and - even worse - sometime in January for the rest of the world. ("The waiting is the hardest part" - Tom Petty)

Now here's a - TRUE - little story of me having tried to order the book from the big A(.de):

On August 15 I placed the pre-order for slightly under 20 €. And I thought I'd be on the safe side . . . first come first serve, and for a great price at that. Time went by and - as we all know - the release date was postponed from November into December . . . plus the price rose to over the double amount, but my order was placed for the given price guarantee. And then the release was postponed once more into "sometime" in January - a little disappointing, but not really worrying.

Until yesterday that is: F*#°ing Amazon sent me a message that they'd cancelled my order because of "lacking availability" . . . I was completely dumbstruck! At the same time I was made aware that I might order the book from another seller . . . for a now whopping 50 (in words: FIFTY) €! !!! That's what "reputable" business companies can do for you! You bet I could've puked all over the place . . .

Meanwhile I ordered the book anew somewhere else - for a better price, but still doubling what I'd paid in the first place. Apart from that, the German delivery date has again been POSTPONED TO MID-FEBRUARY - now, let's see how this story might develop further down the line . . . WHAT A BUMMER!

This was the first album of the Green lineup I bought (cutout bin at Camelot Records), not counting one of the million Boston Tea Party tapes. I had no idea who was on it and knew nothing about their history, and the cassette didn’t have liner notes. I wasn’t really into the blues at that point (only 13), but I instantly fell in love with that guitar tone on “Watch Out.” It was also funny listening to the black guys being skeptical at first but coming around as they played on, especially Otis Span.

Steve, I used to confuse Otis Spann with Steeleye Span. Thoughts?

Now, that's a good 'un, David! That lengthens that lineage to Steely Dan - Steeleye Span - Otis Spann . . . what else have we got there?! Dannykir Wan?!
