* There is a running debate on the validity of Art Jackson's Atrocity being a "long lost" 1974 Columbia Records release. I'm going with the story because it's sounds good - like the lp. So much for the facts (or lack of them).

As I was listening back to today's show, I heard myself say that "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know" was an old Electric Flag song, when in reality it's a classic Al Kooper tune from the 1st Blood, Sweat & Tears album Child Is Father To The Man released in 1968! Enjoy!
