Album Rating: 93.10
(931/10)

Yes, this 1969 album is intentionally a more commercial sound than the brilliant, Nico assisted, 1967 effort. Yes, as a body of art it is inferior. Yes, it’s not technically as good. But, as much I love Velvet Underground & Nico, I prefer the highs of this 1969 album and there are no lows.

Album Rating: 89.00
(356/4)

I like a good Isaac Hayes monologue. But 8:40 of, admittedly smooth Hayes musings on the final track (‘By The Time I Get To Phoenix’) is too much even for me. It’s 20% of the album. Without it this could have been my favourite album of all time and it is still right up there.

Al Wilson (Soul) (SFTD - USA - Mar 69) - Searching For The Dolphins

01.03.1969
