Overview

Axton, Corbitt, Kottke Selected Recordings --- 1971

This is a 6-disk album issued by [l654] "... to introduce people in the trade to three outstanding musicians recording on Capitol for the first time." None of the release jackets are included. The format is a "book" with sleeves/pages, and contains Hoyt Axton's [r3812611]; Jerry Corbitt's [r1321719]; and Leo Kottke's [r14734723]. These are listed here as sides AB, EF and IJ respectively. There are also three non-Capitol discs: Axton's [r6723947]; Corbitt's/The Youngblood's [r2169454]; and Kottke's [r6039812]. These are listed as sides CD, GH and KL respectively. Some of the non-Capitol discs have minor runout differences from their sibling releases. What arrangement resulted in Capitol procuring the pressings from the OEMs, possibly with new masters, is a mystery. The release includes a 20-page, 10"x10" booklet with an introduction (quoted, in part, above), photos and short bios of the artists, the words to "Indian Song" by Axton, and the tracklists and cover images from the Capitol albums. Where the pressing plants or other mastering credits are identified in the runouts, the release catalogue numbers are included for clarity. The sides are ordered according to the original placement of the discs in the book (and the implications of the booklet). Note that B5, Farther Along & Old Time Religion were not composed by Axton, despite the text on the label. Also, the credits for personnel on the three Capitol releases are in the booklet, and do not specify which tracks are performed by which artists. Therefore credit for all tracks on the respective LPs is listed for clarity, not accuracy.
