This was recorded in 1977 on a separate session from “Touching On” and with a different lineup. Gordon Beck has a somewhat more soulful style on side 2 than Jeff Young had on “Touching On”, but still it’s fairly challenging listening, and not always so rewarding. | This was recorded in 1977 on a separate session from “Touching On” and with a different lineup.

"So I’m as disgusted with John '''Stevens''' as I am with a lot of the record companies, who are doing the same thing to a lot of the people who pass on, like Jaco Pastorious. I think it’s completely degrading what they’ll do to people after they’ve gone. I think if the musician wanted them to be part of his thing they would have already been out." | "So I’m as disgusted with John '''Stevens''' as I am with a lot of the record companies, who are doing the same thing to a lot of the people who pass on, like Jaco Pastorious.
