| Note | w/ Curtis Knight and the Squires (aka The Lovelights) |
| J-Card Comment | The live recordings of Curtis Knight & the Squires (aka the Lovelights) are quite confusing, beginning with the question if they really are live recordings at all. Two tracks, "Last night" and "Killing floor" are available in versions with crowd noise, and versions without, which would seem to suggest that they actually were originally studio takes which were later disguised as live recordings by adding a crowd noise overdub. This leads to the question if the same trick was also performed on other songs. The presence of introductions to songs that would suggest a live recording has been explained by these tapes actually being rehearsals for the flow and structure of the Squires live set done in a studio and recorded for reviewing purposes. The fact that several songs exist in 2 different versions with different instrumentation would suggest that there were one or more actual live recordings, and a rehearsal tape later worked into sounding like a live recording. Bass and drum overdubs were also added to several of the songs, with versions both with and with the overdubs appearing on various releases. These live / rehearsal recordings were done between late 1965 - January 1966. The George's Club, Hackensack, New Jersey, 26 December 1965 date often given for these tracks is not correct. The location was taken from a song introduction, but it happens to belong to one of the tracks that was definately recorded in the studio. The date might be correct for some of these songs. |
