Rob, Y'know, the old Tape-Tree thing really wasn't all that complicated, But ... that's a story for another time. As for the (So Called) Alternate BLUE album ... as late as March 10, 1971 the album consisted of the following songs: SIDE 1 1. Carey 2. Little Green 3. A Case Of You 4. Hunter 5. Blue SIDE 2 1. California 2. My Old Man 3. Urge For Going 4. This Flight Tonight 5. River BLUE was scheduled for a June 1971 release. At the last minute, Joni decided to remove two of three older songs and replace them with two new songs "All I Want" and "The Last Time I Saw Richard". By this time the album had been Mastered, Stampers had been made and 'Test' Pressings had been prepared for review. Changing the album that late in the process was a BIG! deal. A Real BFD! However, Joni insisted, Joni prevailed and Joni was right. "Hunter" and "Urge For Going" weren't really BLUE songs. They didn't really fit with the overall emotional depth of the period. HUNTER is actually an outtake from the LOTC sessions "Urge For Going" was written in Aug. (or Sept.) 1965 and is one of the earliest songs Joni wrote. - - - - - - A short while ago, I UpLoaded both songs via YouSendIt. You can DownLoad them at the URL included after each song above. Enjoy! - - - - - Stay tuned, I'll have some information, and an UpLoad, of the HOSL (early alternates) later. For now, I'll just point out that these recordings are NOT demos. Not by any stretch of the imagination. andmoreagain, - - - - - - - - - - simonM http://jonimitchell.com/chronology/complete.cfm ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #1202 ****************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
