Title: Only for serious collectors.
Product review: This CD is actually James Taylor's first recordings with The Original Flying Machine (original album on Euphoria Records pre-eponymous Apple record) way back in 1967. Some songs (strange sequencing being it is the first three tracks that are non-JT lead vocals) are sung and/or written by Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar (although JT's guitar is impossible to miss even on those cuts). Interestingly, it is those cuts that make this a collector's gem (for those who might care). The Kortchmar cuts were never included on the original album and were only later available on vinyl on some records that were of dubious origin. For those who would want them (collectors/complete-ists) some of these songs are actually pretty hard to find on CD. I myself would have preferred it was called James Taylor And The Original Flying Machine for clarity and to keep from upsetting the masses.
