MINT FINAL COLLECTION COPY!

Original 1966 first pressing with =MONO= SONG MIXES and BOLD punchy (monaural) production ...

"New York's answer to the Grateful Dead"...that's how The Blues Project were described in the mid-1960s (?!?) ... The band was made up of Danny Kalb and Steve Katz on guitar, Andy Kulberg on bass and flute, Roy Blumenfeld on drums, and Al Kooper on organ. Their first album was a live effort, Live At the Cafe Au Go-Go, released in 1965. This second album, Projections, was a studio record released in 1966.

One of the first album-oriented, "underground" groups in the United States, the Blues Project offered an electric brew of rock, blues, and even some jazz, classical, and psychedelia during their brief heyday in the mid-'60s. It's not quite accurate to categorize them as a blues-rock group, although they did plenty of that kind of material...The Blues Project was one of the most innovative and influential bands of the 1960s. Rising from the vibrant Greenwich Village music scene, the New York quintet created a visionary fusion of electric blues, folk-rock, jazz and psychedelia, and delivered it with gritty, effortless expertise. Although the Blues Project didn't stay together long enough to cash in on the musical innovations that they pioneered, they served as an inspiration for subsequent generations of roots-conscious rockers, and the band's small but seminal body of work remains beloved by '60s rock aficionados.

1966's Projections is generally regarded as the Blues Project's peak as a recording unit. The only studio album to feature the band's classic lineup of keyboardist Al Kooper, guitarists Danny Kalb and Steve Katz, bassist Andy Kulberg and drummer Roy Blumenfeld, Projections is a potent manifestation of the Blues Project's eclectic approach and a persuasive showcase for the band members' varied talents.

At the time of its release, Projections became a fixture on the emerging underground FM album-rock radio format, and such enduring tracks as the garagey Kooper-sung rocker "Wake Me, Shake Me," Kalb's epic blues showcase "Two Trains Running," Katz's resonant take on Bob Lind's folk-rock standard "Cheryl's Going Home" and the spacey instrumental "Flute Thing," featuring bassist Kulberg on the title instrument.
