Catalog #:	ST 2862LP

Exact repro LP reissue of the fourth Fred Neil album, originally released 1967 on Capitol. "...Pushed by spearing notes, Neil leans toward the microphone, mouth open to a line from chin to upper lip; the yawning exit of the well of his voice, which rises with the ease of dust motes from a deep, dark shaft, floating into sunlight and dipping back to the underworld blackness. Lyrics melt across compositional boundaries. He sings about black girls, pine trees, merry-go-rounds, death, life, lies and truth, fleshing the images into reality as his voice curves and cracks words into the microphone." --Pete Johnson

Catalog #:	T 2665LP

LP reissue of the third Fred Neil album, originally released 1966 on Capitol; later reissued as Everybody's Talkin'. "Surely the most balanced album of Fred Neil, this eponymous masterwork is from beginning to end a delightful listen and usually the preferred LP among fans and reviewers. It's the only Fred Neil album in which electric guitars were used. Without knowing very well why, the reverberated electric guitar that opens 'The Dolphins' and the entire LP reminds of the sensation of an infinitely peaceful landscape."

Title:	Bleecker & MacDougal
Label:	EASTWEST (JAPAN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	AMCY 2693

Last copies, reduced price. Japanese pressing of his 1965 folk classic from the Elektra period, his second album for that label. Neil has been seriously ignored in the CD era and this is highly in demand. Originally from Florida, Neil was heavily factored in the early days of the East Village folkie boom (Bob Dylan played harmonica for him at Cafe Wha? in 1961). His recording career went from 1964 to about 1971, peaking with Everybody's Talking on Capital (featured in the film Midnight Cowboy). Bleecker & MacDougal features some legendary tracks like "Other Side to This Life" & "Travelin' Shoes" and is fine document of Fred's deep-bass voice, guitar & harmonica accompaniment-- that in some ways could be seen as a crucial link between the early folk style of Dylan and the more exploratory works of say, Tim Buckley.

Title:	Trav'lin Man: The Early Singles
Label:	FALLOUT (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	FO 2091CD

Fallout Records presents Fred Neil's early collected singles. As the author of standards including "The Dolphins," "Everybody's Talkin'" and "Other Side To This Life," Fred Neil needs no introduction to music fans. But before becoming a folksinger and profound influence on Bob Dylan, Tim Buckley, John Sebastian and others, he worked as a jobbing singer, songwriter and session musician around New York. His early songs were recorded by artists including Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison, but his own six pop and rockabilly singles, released between 1957 and 1961, sold in tiny quantities and have rarely been heard since. They are gathered here for the first time ever, offering a fascinating and historically important insight into one of the most celebrated singer-songwriters of all time.
