David Crosby's If I Could Only Remember My Name - C or D?

shit, i missed when this thread got bumped. thank you SO much, jaxon.

I have never heard the intakes though.

Re: the box set (which I would like, yes, but it is quite expensive), can you spot the odd one out here:

i don't get this at all. i guess it's a little dated, but i'd never think it was terrible.

(i need to get this record at long last)

geir, good job reading AGAIN. there are two mentions only a couple of posts above yours that mention the remastered & expanded version

Madness, it's so-good-its-good!

so I'm looking to get a copy of this on vinyl - should I get the 180g reissue from a few years back (~$28 plus shipping online) or the original (~$15 plus shipping)?

just wait until you find an original in a store for $5-10?? it's not that expensive a record tbh and paying $20+ for it seems silly. cobo, where do you live? next time i see a copy I can mail it to for less than $15 ppd.

Everybody's saying music is love

I live in LA, but unfortunately since I ride the bus going store-hopping is a massive pain in the ass (especially since the best stores are out in either Long Beach or the Valley)

seems insane to pay that sort of price for this album (sorta like paying $20+ for Herb Alpert's Whipped Cream and other Delights) which i think by law you have to stock in the used vinyl section. patience is a virtue.

I see a copy of this every time I go to a record store, practically. And what Ian said.

Yeah, give it time - i see it frequently enough and often in the 3.99 - 8.99 range. When you do find it for that price it'll make your day

total classic, love the underlying paranoia

I've never seen one in the UK, they always seem to go for about £20 online

Eh? You've not been looking very hard. I doubt I paid more than 3 quid for my copy, and possibly 1 quid, but I suppose that was before it became a lost classic

i see it frequently enough and often in the 3.99 - 8.99 range

Doesn't sound very lost to me!

Lost in the sense that, for years, everybody thought it just was a load of half-baked coke-addled shit, hence it's bargain bin status

Yeah, I saw it in a street market in Woking, £2, but I only knew it as alohbcas, so left it. (about 10 years ago)

"laughing" is so chill on a day like this one, 100+ out

If I Could Only Remember My Name is the debut solo album by David Crosby, released in February of 1971 on Atlantic Records. One of four high-profile albums released by each member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in the wake of their chart-topping Déjà Vu album, it peaked at #12 on the Billboard 200. It has been in print continuously since its initial release. The album gained new recognition in 2010 when it was listed second on the Vatican's "Top 10 Pop Albums of All Time" as published in the official newspaper of the Holy See, L'Osservatore Romano.

WTF

what was number 1, I wonder

Totally wild. Maybe even totally wired.

xxp I asked my buddy who works at Yahoo!; he agreed it was super weird.

it's the wild west over at !Finance though

is the same set that was p0layed on BBC4 last night so may be up in pristine form on i-player.
Crosby's sense of humour appears to be an acquired taste

Almost a "Cowboy Movie"

croz marathon this morning. started off with if i could only remember and continuing with the nash collaboration albums. if one wanted to compile a "second" croz solo lp from the early 70s, you probably could with his cuts from various places from 72-76. it wouldn't be anywhere near as sprawling and airy as name, but certainly would scratch that itch. "where will i be?"—>"page 43" is about as alltime as it gets. also: songs about whales. nice. i may make a playlist.

Some of his 2010s work is pretty good too

I am now regretting not checking out those Crosby-Nash records when they were like $2

they're okay. first one's the best and it's on streaming. you're not missing much, but the live ones are fun (+both have "lee shore" in vastly different versions; cool croz nerdery).

sry to butt in. i don't remember if i kept mine. i mean, they're okay and there's tons of copies out there. i hope people aren't gouging, yeesh.

well to be fair, they were $2 like 15 years ago, no gouging sighted as of yet

It's all so weird, why did Yahoo Finance or whoever run the story in the first place, and how did the story even get to them, well before all the usual suspects?

Usual suspects then scrambled to confirm the provenance of the press release as no one trusted that newsdirect.com was a site that had guards against being spoofed.

Sorry - didn't realise much of that was in the Post article already linked. But yeah, Yahoo Finance is used to churning out press releases from sites like newsdirect, which are usually things like company finance announcements.

I get a sharp stabbing pain every time my thoughts turn in this direction.

It seems Crosby was working on a new record and was actually rehearsing the material the week before he died: https://www.nme.com/news/music/david-crosby-was-working-on-a-new-album-when-he-died-3385083

I try not to think about how much records used to cost--that's a whole thread topic in itself

for clemenza - the definition of a schooner is a sailboat with two masts, where the one in the back is taller than the one in the front.

Distinct from a ketch or yawl (other two-masted sailboats, distinguished from one another by the relative size and position of the masts).

Trane’s relentless pursuit of musical transcendence was legendary and inspirational.

Don’t be satisfied with where you are at now and keep pushing for that next level!

lol okay!

Great sounding Perro sesh

Been loving his debut and watched the documentary. There's some really good deleted scenes. He had a really extreme reaction to seeing Gilliam's Fisher King and it changed how he grieved his girlfriend who died in an accident.
In a Q&A he said Michael Hedges was the best acoustic guitarist ever. I see Crosby credited on two of his albums and Hedges is on some CSN albums. Anyone heard this stuff?

When I was in junior high/high school the theater dorks I was friends with were obsessed with Michael Hedges for some reason and we listened to his live record in various cars all the time...kind of "new age-y" acoustic guitar a ton of hammer-ons and tapping...it err, wasn't for me then or now

yep extremely new age-y - all his LPs are on Windham Hill which is basically the new age equivalent of ECM. not for everyone but i quite like his Aerial Boundaries lp - and you can definitely hear why there is a Crosby/CSN connection... there's a cover of After The Gold Rush on the aforementioned album
