The Unreleased "Black Beauty" Album and Assorted Rarities

~This is NOT the remastered version~
On the whole, this particular line-up sounds perfectly rough and
unrehearsed, generating a tense energy on “Skid” and “Stay Away” even as
they suggest a band still figuring out exactly what they can do
together. It’s a strong album, but it’s not another Forever Changes, whose accomplishments in retrospect were unrepeatable, or even another Four Sail.
On the other hand, Lee wasn’t aiming to craft something in that vein.
Still, especially considering the professional setbacks he had faced in
the years leading up to Black Beauty-- which includes being dropped by Elektra and shuffling through a series of independent labels.
