Great stuff.  Not heard this before. Would have been great on St Cecilia. Makes me wonder how much more great SFG stuff there is out there. |

Very nice surprise ! Hadnt heard about that tune. It has a long provenance. Here's part of a review by Howie Klein of the Soft White Underbelly supporting Country Joe & the Fish at the Anderson on 2 Feb 1968: The Soft White Underbelly opened the show. The audience was pleasantly surprised. The Underbelly received moderate applause and only a few catcalls from Kweskin fans, the same few people who walked out when Country Joe came on.
The Underbelly is unquestionably one of the strongest instrumental groups to play in New York since the Cream whom they have surpassed in technical virtuosity. Their major flaw was a weak vocal showing, which improved in the second show. "You" was superb. Jeff and Albert did amazingly well with their voices.
Albert's drumming and Don's lead guitar were out of sight. "Hangin' Round", a song about draft boards, had some of the clearest, most integrated organ of the night. "Green" is a beautiful folksy piece. It was followed by a tight hard rock number, "All Night Gas Station", which introduced Jeff on a tastefully used saxophone.
They do what few rock bands can do: add a saxophone in a non-raucous manner. "Alan's Song" was the weakest piece. "Rain is Falling", a soul song, was fantastic, enlivened by Don's unsurpassed guitar rushes.

... and HOW cool does Allen look in these photos? Also - Andy Winters should lose the gig lamps - might have been OK for Buddy Holly, but not so much for a psychedelic rock band...

I reckon Allen pretty much always looked cool. Right about the Buddy Holly horn rims though, not a good look. |
