Steve, An interesting coincidence between your last post and mine: the night in 1967 when the Charles Lloyd Quartet recorded “Love-In” they shared the bill with The Butterfield Blues Band.
Some random stuff about Love-In: I read that it was the first live recording ever made at the Fillmore. The Quartet played there a lot and a thing developed where if there was room the audience would lie on the floor during Charles’s set with arms around each other - hence the name of the record. Time in this Quartet gave Keith Jarrett credibility and strength goin forward in his huge crossover record buying fan base. And this has been said to be the first Psyc-Jazz album.
My new copy is on 4 Men with Beards, a highly disparaged sub-label of Runt. Until now I’ve never had a record from this label (I bought it to replace my old scratchy copy) and although it’s often said this label should be avoided, this record is just great. Good SQ, quiet vinyl, with fantastic additional liner notes in a lovely gatefold tip-on jacket.
