This is up on Easytree now and someone posted this. Never heard of these titles before!!
Chris in DC The TRUE story.... I had for many many years a Test Pressing for what was LP 1 one of the set which I got from a former FZ employee (keeping all true names outta this). I got it in 1978. Many MANY years later, figure 1991 or 1992 I was hanging with my pal TB (apparantly some of you know who he is by his initials, good enough) and flipping through HIS collection of cassettes, and he had an unlabled mystery tape that seemed to include parts of Billy The Mountain as well as many other 'solos.' I borrowed it, listened and realised he had a cassette of the second LP! My Test Pressing is way chewed up, and his cassette wasn't much better, but together they represented the only known version of the TWO LP Just Another Band to be in existence. Cut ahead a few more years to the late 90's, and some guy on alt.fan.FZ was wondering if such a thing in fact existed. I wrote him back in confidence that not only did it exist, but I would run him a copy of the complete set with the understanding he offer it up to anyone who wants a copy. He never did, but apparantly he made SOMEONE the second LP. Keep in mind that by combining the official release with this second LP you still will NOT have the complete 2 LP version. Billy The Mountain on LP1 the test pressing is longer than how it was officially released. I also have a photocopy of the ORIGINAL liner copy to the ORIGINAL 2 LP set. The ACTUAL song titles were to be: Side One: Call Any Vegetable Eddie Are You Kidding? Magdalena Dog Breath (these are all the same as officially released JABFLA versions) Side Two: Billy The Mountain Introduction Phase I (The Royalties Arrive) Phase II and Newscast The Legendary Low Budget Hero The Flies Side Three Billy The Mountain (cont.) Studebacher Hoch The Conclusion The Subcutaneous Peril Side Four "An Easy Substitute For Eternity Itself" Don's Solo Ian's Solo Aynsley's Solo Frank's Solo According to the liner copy The Subcutaneous Peril and An Easy Substitute were recorded at Carnegie Hall October 11, 1971. Even more interesting is that the writer credit for An Easy is shared by FZ, Don Preston, Ian Underwood, Aynsley Dunbar and Jim Pons. Here's hoping that clears up one more muddy mess of legend, as well as assistting you guys with the ACTUAL titles, instead of 'A Bunch Of Solos.' Also this: It should not be debated, it's from JABFLA. The tape this stuff originates from has all the songs from JABFLA on side one. One tape, an LP on both sides. They split BTM into two parts in this version. It is from a band member (AD). Original test pressing is probably worth quite a bit! TB obtained a copy and the rest is history. God Damn! I myself obtained a copy from TB who secured it and can confirm it's the 2 LP version of JABFLA. No songs from the Fillmore LP are on either of the two vinyl discs used to make this tape. Though all the songs from JABFLA are on original tape. Hence why we draw the conclusion. Don't see how this possibly has anything to do with the Fillmore LP. FZ gave test pressings to all current band members at the time., This copy comes from AD. ------------------------ Yahoo!
