A friend of mine met with Skip Woods about two years ago in regard to Black Beauty, but somehow Reel to Real kept coming up from Woods. He said he would be very interested in remastering it, and doing some expanded liner notes. He mentioned there were bonus tracks aplenty. Like maybe three or so.
If one listens to Stay Away...it seems clear that the seeds of what would become "Love" have already been sown! Arthurs unique vocal quality,literally jumps out of the speakers. The harmonies are there, Johnny Echols fluid guitar style is apparent even at the tender age of seventeen. Those guy's were ready for "prime time" from jump street!
I'm confused! Is the version of Stay Away on Black Beauty different from the one available on the Norton Records marble forty five's? (Iv'e never heard Black Beauty.)
There were cases available at at the benefit for Arthur, and there seemed to be a bunch of them still for sale when it was over!
...By the way the single of Stay Away is still available on Norton Records for under twenty dollars...I wish the people selling them on ebay good luck!
LOVE: the "Lost" album
