This is wild, one od my favorites! I still can't get over the fact that Jane Getz was just 16 years old when she played on this one. If you can, get her biography "Running with the big dogs"
Recommended reading, if you want to get a feel for the scene in the sixties.

I'll look up that book! This is one of my favorite records ever, too-- for awhile in the 90s I just tried to play like this-- living up there in the &s all the time.
