I still am shocked by how underrated Jesse Colin Young's solo work is. It's so great but nobody talks about it.

Check out Aussie Guitar Ace Geoff Achison sometime. Lotsa good clips on YouTube. Now that’s a Geoff-worthy name! He’s a shredder!

Jeff Conklin:

@Gary: You may be the first person I've ever heard of who knew Boa back then. Wild. You had the LP?

@Jeff reading the question about recording, did you make one large audacity file? Didn’t see the answer.

Jeff Conklin:

@ethan: Jesse Colin Young

@PMD: Yes I combined digital tracks, mic breaks, and vinyl rips into one track. FLAC file.

PMD:

@Jeff. Wow. Thanks!

That Jesse Colin Young song Together sounded like a more sedate version of Tommy James & Shondells song She, which goes off in a swirling, psychedelic chorus on the word Together.
