Additional Information
Also available on CD from Fantasy Records with a different sleeve and bonus tracks. There are
copies of this LP which has a sticker with the song titles imprinted on it. Underneath the
sticker, a track list, very different from the officially released LP, appears. Besides
"Do You See What I See", "Your Good Thing Is About To Come To An End"
and "Love Pollution", there are several mystery songs that, at least to my
knowledge, never were issued. Those are: "People Get Ready", "Do It Bring
You Down?", "Brother To Brother", "The Gun" and "Plastic
People". ("Memphis At Sunrise" and "Son Of Shaft" are also
included on the list, but they were released as singles). It has been confirmed that the
"Do You See What I See" LP was recorded twice. However, the material from the
first sessions were not considered good enough by Stax and so the entire album was
scrapped and re-recorded. What ended up on the final release was drawn from the second
batch of sessions. A theory is that the sleeve may have been printed before the album was
scrapped and instead of destroying a huge amount of album covers, the sticker was placed
on top of the deleted track list. If you know more about this, please write to me (see address below). |
