My favorite Beck-Ola track is “The Girl From Mill Valley. No Jeff Beck guitar but he obviously approved of the track, which features only Nicky Hopkins on piano.
The album’s London recording took place over seven days in April 1969 — 4.3, 4.6, 4.8, 4.10, 4.11, 4.14 and 4.19. This shitty-looking black-and-white video was shot on 4.14.69 — obviously the recording of “Plynth (Water Down The Drain).” Before today I’d never seen this footage.
