LA in the late 60's and 70' we had two so-called underground radio stations. Commercials were few. The DJ's were music maniacs. No payola here. They would play the entire album. That's were I first heard Janis Joplin, Almann Bros. Band at Fillmore East, Jimmy Hendrix, et al. I don't think there's a need for this kind of radio today because there's not any great music to be heard. Today's music is repetitious and boring. Back in the day, every song on an album was good.
It just kills me how a song like this was not on regular rotation on radio at the time. As stupid as not being able to hear Rockaway Beach pounding out on a tinny AM radio in the old Dodge on a hot summer day.
I enjoyed hearing this song again, thanks for posting. Didn't even mind the edit. I always agreed the 2nd half insrumental didn't fit the song. But I can also understand someone wanting to hear it all. I guess Mick was the glue for this band because they kind of floundered after this great release and his departure.
Dude...re post this!!! You've only got half the song here. You need the whole tune. The second half is a killer instrumental...El Camino Dolo Roso. That's why the title is "I'm A Cadillac/El Camino Dolo Roso". Your sound quality here is great and I'd love to hear the entire song. I'm just saying.
great !!!!!
