Nobody ever figured this one out?Here's a little tidbit I learned from reading a Simon & Garfunkel bio. On their version of "59th Street Bridge Song", do the drums and bass sound familiar? Jazz fans, listen again closely, and think of jazz on Columbia in the late 50s.
Hint: they are somewhat related (musically) to Paul Desmond... (If you already know, don't ruin the surprise!)
Credits list:The album cover photo is atrocious--I've always felt it was poorly altered and would have looked better in its original form. So it's a bridge over tinted water (only, there's no bridge)? Taylor never would have allowed that on one of his records. Again, not having the jacket to look at, it doesn't strike me as a Pete Turner photograph would.
The Japanese mini-LP I have (2013; #UCCM-9222):Lots of questions, and nobody around to answer them...
Rudy, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, I'm unable to see the engineering credit. Is it on the LP label; otherwise, where should I be looking?the only engineering credit I see is "Engineer: Dave Sanders."

...this was (apparently) recorded in '69 and not at RVG's...
Yeah. It’s pretty clear that Creed started CTI before the end of his A&M contract, which may have precipitated the “we get this, you get that” at the end.Kathy McCord's album (CTI 1001) was recorded November and December of 1969 so that, too, would have made for a 1970 release.
Those dates make sense for this last Desmond album to be on A&M, then--I didn't figure the timing of S&G's songs into it. I think the criss-crossing release dates for both labels is what still confuses us all.
Since the parting was seen as amicable, it also may have been professional courtesy. In a few instances where artists have jumped labels, yet still owed their old label one or more recordings, it was not uncommon for the old label to release something nearly around the same time as the new label, vs. staggering them. So both A&M and CTI got lucky in that the changeover might have had the unintended effect of smoothly transitioning from one to the other.Yeah.
