Comments and Reviews


Deaf Ted 24th Jan 2025		Break-In Master, your assumption is correct; the middle section of “Crimson & Clover” was indeed recorded after the fact, accounting for the slight change of pitch. A corrected version can be found on the Rhino CD combining that album and “Cellophane Symphony.”



Christian Belena1 7th Jan 2023		I love it when records companies can't agree on wording. The title track on the LP is "Crimson & Clover" while the single is "Crimson and Clover." Reminds me of the 4 Seasons - some LPs read "The 4 Seasons" while singles from the LPs are "The Four Seasons" or another variation not consistent.



Break-In Master 18th Nov 2022		Does anyone know the backstory on the title track? I just heard it again a few minutes ago and can't help noticing that the entire middle section is either in a completely different key or was slowed down a bit. I'm wondering if they recorded the single version and then decided to do the album version by just adding that section in the middle and didn't pay strict attention to the keys. I'm tempted to try to get that middle bit to match the rest of the song. The middle bit also sounds a lot like they just did that line once and just kept editing in several copies of it adding a new solo bit to each one. The end of it sounds quite choppy, too, like, whoever edited that bit together (again, one pass copied several times) kept chopping off half of a snare beat. Maybe it was a badly edited loop they added 4 times.



JWMmusic 22nd Mar 2018		LP debut was 1 Feb 69 (US); it's release date was in January per wikipedia. Can anyone firm it up?



TheDroid 26th Aug 2016		Added a third label variant for this release.



finylvinyl69 21st Aug 2015		Had to be the only 60's album to have its liner notes written by a presidential hopeful



checkm8 4th Aug 2015		With acknowledgement to Trainman, added upgraded front cover. Also added back cover and variant label images.



TheDroid 21st Feb 2015		Added missing label images. Deadwax has 12-23-68 hand etched on A side.
