Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

DimeTravel 073 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader! ::: Corrections welcome ::: I'm more than an idle fan of Mr C's & I love all his periods of music making & songwriting, but I do find the '69-73 vintage to be particularly appealing & his versatility is astounding. Still in the belly of the beast here, nothing by but class. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Knees
