Flightless Bird Needs Water Wings (Yodo-Go-a-Go-Go) (2007)

This is where my note from my last post comes into play. Flightless Bird Needs Water Wings (Yodo-Go-A-Go-Go), released by the label 10th Avenue Freeze Out in 2007 comes next chronologically... technically.

You see, tracks 1, 4, and 8 originally come from '67-'69 Studio et Live, which date them to 1968. "Fragment I", also known as "Vallé De L'eau", was sourced from a previous bootleg and (I think) might be from 1970. This bootleg's versions of "Enter The Moon" and "Flame of Ice" are sourced from a studio recording from 1978. "Field of Artificial Flowers", the sixth song, comes from '77 Live by way of Heavier Than A Death In The Family. The final track dates back to 1975.

When it comes to cases like this where the tracklist comes from a variety of times, the earliest date will be used for chronological sorting.

So, what do I think? It's a bit disjointed and unorganized, thanks to the range in recording dates, but it's a nice listen. My favorite songs here are the studio recordings of Enter The Mirror and Flames of Ice. Field of Artificial Flowers is pretty great, the '67-'69 et songs are great, and the short Fragment I is a nice interlude of sorts.
