John McLaughlin - My Goal's Beyond

John McLaughlin - My Goal's Beyond. I'm not sure if Goals should have an apostrophe... it appears that this LP has been re-released on many different labels, and some keep the apostrophe and some don't...

First side of the album is Johnny on overdubbed guitars (occasional cymbals) - highlights are "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" and "Follow Your Heart," which is a tune that wound up in the Real Book that is in 11/8 time...

(This version is by Joe Farrell)

I really like the second side, which of all bass players, includes the great Charlie Haden holding down an 11/8 vamp. The rest of the band appears to be Liebman's Lookout Farm + Mahavishnu Orchestra. Wild jamming ensues.
