Title: A recovered classic, but....
Product review: I've been a devoted Eric Andersen fan since about 1969. I knew about the missing tapes for decades, and was really excited to learn they'd turned up. That said, "Stages" is really good, but as a follow-up to "Blue River" it's a bit of a let-down. Some of the songs were done better on "Be True to You" (though it's great to have "Time Run Like A Freight Train" without tympani, and "Can't Get You Out of My Life" as a country song instead of an imitation of "Court & Spark"). I like it a lot, but it doesn't rank with "Blue River," "Ghosts Upon the Road," or "More Hits From Tin Can Alley."
