“Prior to late adolescence I owned but two records, both of them 45s. They were Wipeout by the Surfaris and A Well Respected Man by the Kinks.”
Like me! I had a Magnavox record player and I owned several 45’s, “Pictures of Matchstick Men” by the Status Quo, “Hello, I Love You,” by the Doors and a “Little Bit of Soul,” by the Music Explosion; because Joe Vasvari and his band played that over and over at our 8th-grade graduation picnic.
My younger brother scored an album from the “discount bin” that was a promotional copy (demo??) of a record from Taylor’s early days with The Original Flying Machine; playing with Daniel "Danny Kootch" Kortchmar and Al Gorgoni…in fact, I recall one song on the album called “Kootch’s Song.”

His brother, Livingston Taylor, had an unplugged, small-hall session, at Ohio Northern University when I was there in 1975.
