THE BAND / MUSIC FROM BIG PINK

LPはI Shall Be Releasedが最後の曲。余韻を残して、レコードの針を上げていたことを思い出す。CDではその後に9曲が続く。ボーナストラックはありがたいが、アルバムのイメージを壊してしまう恐れも持っている。だが、ここでは2曲のみが別テイクで、残り7曲はアウトテイク。つまり、LPに収まり切らず、やむを得ず外した曲が追加されているのだ。なお、ジャケットには、以下のようなBIG PINKの説明がある。

A pink house seated in the sun of Overlook Mountain in West Saugerties, New York. Big Pink bore this music and these songs along its way. It's the first witness of this album that's been thought and composed right there inside its walls.
