BEAUTIFUL...MINTY CLEAN....RARE 1970 ORIGINAL first pressing WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL of the 2nd STEVE STILLS album...in thick grainy gatefold cover that features among others, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, David Crosby + +

Old white label promotional albums have been sought after for years by collectors and most of the good ones, like this are in private collections... White labels were limited editions to begin with, sent out specically to radio stations and media publication for review purposes ...the first to be pressed up on the freshly cut masters and known to have the best sound quality ...

By the time his sophomore set, Stephen Stills 2, was released, Stills had driven the Buffalo Springfield to folk rock highs, joined Al Kooper on the successful collaborative jamming lp Super Session and co-founded and written and performed most of the music for the supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash and (sometimes) Young. Not long after the success of the first Stephen Stills album, Stephen still had a mass of songs to get out. He had a backlog dating back to his jamming sessions with his close friend Jimi Hendrix (many still not released - possibly some of the best 'lost' and certainly more interesting songs to never be released from this era). What this album represents is a snapshot of Stills at work and play from 1971. It is a great album on its own merit -- his work is first rate and output rather incredible - he was still only 26 by this album and was admired by, and played with, people like Eric Clapton, the Rolling Stones and Joni Mitchell in this year.

So to begin the album, 'Change Partners' is a pretty folk-rock tune with another of those wonderful tunings by Stills, which gave such charm to Suite: Judy Blue Eyes or the guitar on Mitchell's Carey from her album 'Blue'. It would not sound out of place on his debut. And great emotional Stills singing on this.

Nothing To Do But Today - great title, nice electric tone on his guitar and sounds like is band Manassas doin their blues rock thing

Fishes and Scorpions - one of Stills' best songs. Great twelve string work (like Deja Vu titletrack) and excellent Clapton song - one of the great Clapton solos - sounds like Blind Faith. And a resonant great vocal. Sounds suspiciously like a drug song to me (by the sound) and carries on another of Stills' recurring metaphors for women etc in it).

Various songs on the album are self-indulgent though still worth hearing. Bluebird Revisited, Ecology Song, Open Secret and Sugar Babe are all decent songs.

Relaxing Town is a great rocker with more reference to Mayor Daley (like Nash's Chicago) and has a goovy solo. Word Game is a great song and it is not like Dylan though it is similar - this is a cheap shot to say as so many people sang in this style in this era it is not just like Dylan. Overall has a great tune and tuning.

Singin' Call is the best tune. Quietly threatening to steal the show this is a beautiful emotional song and with Stills you can tell when he means what he sings and when he is being a consummate showman. like the great 'So Begins the Task' on Manassas ,this is a lovely song that picks you up and rolls you gently down the river and valleys Stills sings about. And great Crosby singing on the chorus - surely an invention of his (it sounds like it)

  1. "Change Partners" – 3:13
  2. "Nothin' To Do But Today" – 2:40
  3. "Fishes and Scorpions" – 3:13
  4. "Sugar Babe" – 4:04
