At the end, you'll see the original cover for Pandemonium Shadow Show. Ray Bradbury had given permission for the use of "Something Wicked", but Joe Reisman, head of A&R at RCA, nixed it and insisted on another album title. Incidentally, that first album was mixed mono first, and the mono sounds far better than the stereo. We did it all on only 4 tracks!!!
What an amazing groove... I do love the version released but this has such an feel and captures the artistry and seeming randomness of Harry. Thanks for posting it. It would be nice to hear the complete recording some day. We were so blessed that he passed among us ...Long Live Harry!
