The Flying Burrito Brothers – The 1969 Jim Dickson Honky Tonk Demos Acetate

Produced by Jim Dickson at the « Sound Factory » in late 1969.

Chris Hillman, Michael Clarke, Gram Parsons, Sneaky Pete Kleinow and Bernie Leadon.

These rough tracks from the "Sound Factory" recordings were pressed on this acetate disc. More tracks were recorded that don’t appear here.

There is a continuous hum that I’ve only been partially able to remove.

Later, acoustic guitar and background vocals were added by Herb Pedersen and the finished re-worked tracks appeared on the “Honky Tonk Heaven” double LP in 1973.

1. Together Again (3:12)
2. Sing Me Back Home (3:49)
3. Crazy Arms (2:47)
4. Lodi (instrumental) (3:05)
5. Lodi (3:06)
6. Boney Moroney (3:00)
7. Your Angel Steps Out Of Heaven (3:12)
8. Honky Tonk Women (4:19)
9. Six Days On The Road (2:56)
10. Just Because (1:48)
11. Close Up The Honky Tonks (2:19)

Artwork Included (front, back)

Here are the first two discs of Burney's Nicky Hopkins compilation Everybody's Piano Player, posted here in February 2023. It's heavy on Beatles, Kinks, Who, hits, and especially Stones. Not so much on everybodies.

The following tracks are not listed in the discography in Julian Dawson's book And On Piano... Nicky Hopkins, and presumably Nicky didn't play on them:

1-07 Satisfaction (probably Jack Nitzsche)
1-08 Draggin' My Tail
1-12 Paint It Black (Jack Nitzsche)
1-17 Let's Spend The Night Together (Jack Nitzsche)
1-18 Ruby Tuesday (Jack Nitzsche)
2-18 Rock & Roll (Ian Stewart)
4-17 Drop Down Baby (Zoot Money)

In particular, Dawson (pp. 88f.) states explicitly that although Nicky knew the Rolling Stones from 1963, he never recorded with them until the sessions for Cool Calm & Collected and Something Happened To Me in November 1966.

I've left these Nicky-less tracks in the compilation, but added notes in the Comments field. Three track numbers (1-04, 1-26, 4-28) are missing, but I didn't delete them; they were not there in Burney's original upload. Presumably he deleted three tracks at the last minute and failed to renumber the remaining tracks.

Everybody's Piano Player
disc 1 (1963-1968)
https://www.imagenetz.de/ewGAJ

Everybody's Piano Player
disc 2 (1968-1971)
https://www.imagenetz.de/ifHLh

It's worth downloading this compilation in addition to mine, since, amazingly, only four tracks are duplicated between Burney's four discs and my four discs. There should have been five, but I somehow failed to include Revolution (the only track Nicky recorded with The Beatles as a group) in my set! I invite you to add it as track 27 on my disc 1, after Sour Milk Sea. In fact, here it is, re-tagged for you:

(Almost) Everybody's Piano Player

@Susan Donimus
RE: Money to the Maw Dept . . .

I appreciate your long-time coming update of my Nicky project.
Much like yours, it maturated over time in a folder I created way back in 2004. I gathered the session data from various Nicky sites available at the time. I wish I had Julian Dawson’s book. (Thanks for that too)

As far as your original quandary: "Maybe there was some other rationale for the compilation, but to my mind it doesn't adequately illustrate the title Everybody's Piano Player.”

I purposely did not call it, “Everybody that Nicky Hopkins Played With”.

I was shooting for his contributions on some of the most recognized songs around that most folk (even those who knew of Nicky’s existence) had no clue he played on. So, your guess was right on.

Thanks again for your time and efforts elevating this collection. I shall add it to my Nicky folder which actually contains many of your upgrades.

Cheers,

Burney

RYP said...

Thank you so much for this great Box Tops series!

Susan Donimus said...

@Burney - Good to see you here again. Thanks for putting together your compilation. I probably would never have put together mine if I hadn't been inspired by yours.

To the person requesting Gene Clark's Under The Silvery Moon, Searnav shared it here on December 19 and the link is still good.

Susan thank you for your attention to detail. Thanks also for the wonderful music. Nicky certainly added quality to the music we love.

Huge THANKS Susan for the fetch on my behalf. Hope others use my upper left search bar on downunderground blogspot as I have seen too many requests here that I can't keep reposting to bring them over from my 9000+ rips but understand since my making of that many rips (a lot for a quarter at Goodwill Bargain Barn from other stores and in FL--where they accumulate from retirees--which is last spot before overseas on pallets (thrown in getting damaged) since 2008 as some data loss from cheap copies but rare still in hindsight and don't have time to tag titles w/o full file name album etc that i simply cut/paste each week. I repost requests within a week or two FYI
