HARD TO FIND THIS CLEAN... 1971 first pressing collectible in thick highly textured/grainy gatefold cover with superior sound quality, beautiful wide range sound...

NICE original '71 first pressing of the highly aclaimed, first and best David Crosby solo joined by the who's who in San Francisco sixties rock; members of The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver, Santana, etc etc all featuring a delicious blend of Sanfrancisco rock led by a 'heady' David Crosby in his prime...

For his highly anticipated 1971 solo debut, David Crosby recorded a unique, eclectic, and willfully expansive album. The cream of early-70s California rock is assembled here, with the various celebrities joining together in an organic, collective approach that's embodied in the opener, the free-spirited jam of "Music Is Love." Throughout the record, Crosby moves from the sauntering West Coast shuffle of "Cowboy Movie" to the wondrously spiritual harmonies of "Tamalpais High (At About 3)" and, eventually, the hallowed chants of "I'd Swear There Was Somebody Here."

Musically the album has an exploratory, druggy feel, with its bright production cloaking the listener in acoustic strains and lush, layered harmonies. These qualities perfectly evoke the relaxed, hazy California lifestyle of the time. For all its dreaminess though, IF I COULD ONLY REMEMBER MY NAME rarely missteps, and the haunting melancholy of songs like "Laughing" and "Orleans" give the record a depth and durability that surpasses other recordings of the time. The result is an excellent, highly underrated album.
