A misunderstood gem in the raw

Review Score: (10/10)
This is not the quintesential work of excellence for the casual fan wanting to round out a "folk collection". It is, instead, a vouyeristic look into a young songwriter breathlesly exploding with creative lust. The material (never intended for public release) is more a precurser for later greatness. It allows us to see and feel the roots of Ochs's talent and his desire to explore, share, and create. Intended solely as a vehicle to be shared by "Broadside" personnel, it provides wonderful insight for true Och's fans. Casual fans would be better served by other album releases, most notably,"Farewells and Fantasies".
