Well, the cover is classic so-bad-its-good.

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

If Only I Could Dismember My Liver

(i need to get this record at long last)

I like this album. Matter of fact, I like most of what this bunch of people did during this period. "If I Could Only Remember My Name" is still rather different from typical CSN-material though, more dreamy and slightly more experimental. Still good.

Those outtakes are very Cleo Laine.

PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Thursday, 9 November 2006 11:00 (seventeen years ago) link

The album has yet to be remastered. Maybe Rhino will include some of the outtakes if they remaster it.

Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Thursday, 9 November 2006 11:26 (seventeen years ago) link

it looks like there might be an alt. version of "cowboy movie" on the crosby box set.

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!

yeah, there's nothing wrong with the cover for this LP! MUCH better in fact than yer average CSN(Y) cover.

calvin johnson has ruined rock for an entire generation (orion), Friday, 10 November 2006 14:51 (seventeen years ago) link

the design suffers in translation to cd, true, but the original vinyl ... the texture, the gatefold "facebook" ... class all the way.

I watched Crosby and Nash on the televison and they sang some songs and it was good. I did not know Crosby was such a wag. I would like this box set, or indeed this album, but they are both at the premium end of the market. Perhaps I will SAVE UP.

PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 12 January 2007 12:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Can anyone repost those outtakes?

def zep (calstars), Friday, 12 January 2007 15:01 (seventeen years ago) link

This album is at the premium end of the market?? It should be $1-$5 in yer local vinyl emporium, duder.

the old "not remastered" cd sounds fine too.
God don't make junk.

has been on my "to get" list buried in the back of my head for some time now.

tony conrad schnitzler (sanskrit), Friday, 12 January 2007 16:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, I meant the new version, half of which is no use to non-surround sound me.

PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 12 January 2007 17:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I still find it difficult to get into this album, although I kind of like the sound, the songs don't seem too memorable.

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)?

/no cobo (jamescobo), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 18:18 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

Trip Maker, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 18:46 (fourteen years ago) link

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)

/no cobo (jamescobo), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 19:49 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

beta blog, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 20:04 (fourteen years ago) link

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

darling fascist bullyboy (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Wednesday, 17 February 2010 03:22 (fourteen years ago) link

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

sknybrg, Wednesday, 17 February 2010 06:26 (fourteen years ago) link

total classic, love the underlying paranoia

ian zamboni, Wednesday, 17 February 2010 06:33 (fourteen years ago) link

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

Roger Sánchez Broto (vain_bowers), Wednesday, 17 February 2010 11:25 (fourteen years ago) link

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

Tom D (Tom D.), Thursday, 18 February 2010 15:27 (fourteen years ago) link

Doesn't sound very lost to me!

Mark G, Thursday, 18 February 2010 15:56 (fourteen years ago) link

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

Tom D (Tom D.), Thursday, 18 February 2010 15:59 (fourteen years ago) link

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)

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.

I was amazed at how many copies of this I saw at the flea market the other week. At least ten in one shop alone.

i tried, i really did,
but i don't like Cowboy Movie.
the guitar solo, the repetitive blues beat and atmosphere.
am i the only one?

the rest of the album is excellent.

Doesn't Cowboy Movie also have Phil Lesh and one of the Dead drummers?

But yeah, it could have done with some editing.

calstars, Sunday, 5 January 2014 13:37 (ten years ago) link

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.

Alba, Tuesday, 24 January 2023 21:10 (one year ago) link

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.

Alba, Tuesday, 24 January 2023 21:21 (one year ago) link

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

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

clemenza, Tuesday, 24 January 2023 22:09 (one year ago) link

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

a (waterface), Wednesday, 25 January 2023 13:32 (one year ago) link

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!
