Un interessante doppio cd della label "gladyson" ci riporta in studio negli anni 60 e 70, proponendo una raccolta di sole prime takes di vari brani la cui caratteristica è di essere già perfette..
al primo colpo!
In alcuni casi qualche ammiratore sostiene che le prime takes siano state addirittura superiori al master scelto per la pubblicazione su disco. A voi le valutazioni.
