THE TRANSFIGURATION OF BLIND JOE DEATH

TAKOMA #TAK-7015 U.S. Pressing - I believe this is a 1980 Reissue

The Takoma Record Company did not normally print special PROMO copies as such. Instead, they would use regular retail stock copies and clip one of the corners in neat a dye-cut.  This is one of those. It was given out as a Promotional Copy. It was not a cut-out.

Tracks Include:

1. Beautiful Linda Getchell
2. Orinda-Moraga
3. I Am the Resurrection
4. On the Sunny Side of the Ocean
5. Tell Her to Come Back Home
6. My Station Will Be Changed After Awhile
7. 101 Is a Hard Road to Travel
8. How Green Was My Valley
9. Bicycle Built for Two
10. The Death of the Clayton Peacock
11. Brenda's Blues
12. Old Southern Medley
13. Come Back Baby
14. Poor Boy
15. Saint Patrick's Hymn

John Fahey.Personnel: John Fahey (guitar, steel guitar); Ed Freeman (guitar).Audio Remasterer: Phil DeLancie.Liner Note Authors: George Winston; Samuel Charters.Recording information: 1965.Editors: Barry Hansen; John Fahey.Illustrator: David Omar White.Arranger: John Fahey.1965's THE TRANSFIGURATION OF BLIND JOE DEATH is one of John Fahey's most mysterious albums. Despite the best efforts of cadres of Fahey-ologists, it's still not entirely known for sure when or where the 15 tracks were recorded. Regardless, the resulting collection has an odd fragmentary quality that actually enhances the overall album rather than detracting from it. Skipping from playful eccentricities like a version of the old standard "Bicycle Built For Two" to impressionistic, watery originals like the sublime "The Death of the Clayton Peacock," THE TRANSFIGURATION OF BLIND JOE DEATH is an endlessly fascinating, occasionally impenetrable delight. Complete Fahey newcomers might want to try a more cohesive effort like THE LEGEND OF BLIND JOE DEATH, however.
