Sorry for the glare! The final of the MFSL 2LP 45rpm releases. One of my very favorite albums. I am hoping that this pressing lives up to the hype when I finally crack it open.
What other albums would you like to see MFSL release in 45rpm? For me, I think Wake Of The Flood would be my choice.
@tonymasiello I’ve never owned a physical copy of this record, and looking at the back cover I’m confused. Who is above Billy? Is that Phil? I thought Mickey was back in the fold on this album, so why is he missing? Unless that’s Mickey, in which case why is Phil missing?
@helbonikster @tonymasiello I have wondered the same thing, and always just figured that that illustration was created before Mickey was officially back in the band. But who knows. Surely someone else here has the legit story.
@drummmerandy @helbonikster Andy, I would agree with your theory. Funny, I never noticed his absence on the back cover before!
@helbonikster @tonymasiello well, Micky’s wiki reports he returned to the GD in October’74 which coincides with the recording of this album. However, the BFA Album Wiki page lists Micky as a “contributor” and returning to the band officially resuming membership in the band in ‘76. GD wiki contains a somewhat convoluted bar graph that supports the ‘76 return.
@NWTrailhound @helbonikster @tonymasiello Mickey absolutely was part of the recording of Blues For Allah which started in early 1975 (including a notable credit for "crickets"), and he began appearing at all GD performances as a member starting with 3.23.75. The discussion over whether he was a guest or member at 10.20.74 is semantics. Jerrybase lists him as a member. So his return is either the last show of 74 or the first of 75 however you slice it. Idk about the album cover
@mrcompletely had a feeling you’d chime in on this one 
@mrcompletely @tonymasiello @helbonikster no doubt. He’s introduced by Bill in One From The Vault
