I was attending collge in Boston in 1970. I had just graduated H.S. stashed my board for the winter, crawled off the Jersey shore after a great summer and left the safety of family and friends for the first time. Boy was I in for a surprise. I bought SF in a smelly record store off Kemore Square. I didn't have much money but I was looking for some reassurance of my roots and I thought some new tunes from some old friends would do the trick. Boy was I in for a surprise. I found out me and the BB's had all grown up a bit. It looked a lot better on them than it did on me. This became an album I loved to play for people who stopped by my room. I'd slip it on and not tell them who it was. I was proud of them and what they had accomplished. I played it on my radio show as well and I believe I even sat down one afternoon and tried to figure out how to re-wire my 4 speaker stereo into quad. I belive the instructions were on the album someplace and some of the cuts were actually recorded in Quad. I still have that album and I bought the CD, but it doesn't sound like I remembered the vinyl sounding. All of a sudden the BB's were hip, and not just a top 40 hit making band. They were headed in a new direction, and at the time , I would have followed them anywhere.
