| The
DELUXE EDITION features both the stereo and mono mixes
of the album, which contains several of Buckley’s
early classics, including the singles “Wings”
and “Aren’t You The Girl.”
The
music on the second disc has remained unreleased until
now and provides an unparalleled insight into Buckley’s
early development. It opens with 12 songs he recorded
in November 1965 with The Bohemians, a group he formed
in high school with Fielder, Beckett, and guitarist
Brian Hartzler. Recorded live in an Anaheim studio,
the originals include early versions of “She Is”
and “It Happens Every Time”—two tracks
that later appeared on Buckley’s debut. The session
also yielded rockers like “Put You Down” and
“Come On Over” and the ballads “Call
Me If You Do” and “No More.”
The
nine songs that make up the second half of the disc
were recorded shortly before the sessions for Tim Buckley
and feature Buckley singing and playing acoustic guitar
with Beckett, who recites poetry to Buckley’s guitar
on two tracks: “Found At The Scene Of A Rendezvous
That Failed” and “Birth Day.” The home
recording captures versions of the album tracks: “She
Is,” “Aren’t You The Girl,” “Wings,”
“Song Slowly Song,” and “I Can’t
See You.”
The
two remaining songs are the Buckley original “My
Love Is For You” and the Beckett/Buckley collaboration
“Long Tide.”
