Track List Corrections

I’m not the one who ripped the albums, I found that some tracks have wrong title on the cover and/or in the tracklist posted in the info, so I corrected them manually and retagged as well.

some info about Texas International Pop Festival recordings
http://www.texaspopfestival.com/misc/recordings_info.htm

The recordings were made straight off the sound board. They’ve been sold for years as bootleg albums. Some of the albums include announcements from the stage, including Wavy Gravy and the police chief, and audience comments.

The largest manufacturer is a company called Oh Boy. They’ve used the artwork from the Tom Bailey watercolor that adorned the programs and the poster sold at the festival. They’ve colored the art differently for each artist’s CD. The insert is actually a miniature replica of the program from the festival, with every page identical. The only difference besides size is the coloring of the cover. That’s really cool! If you bid on a CD on eBay or elsewhere, I would suggest you contact the seller, if that information isn’t in the description, and ask if the multi-page insert is included. If it’s a CD, be sure to ask if it is a CDR copy. There are lots of those. The CD will most likely still play just as well, so if you don’t care about the accompanying graphics, a CDR is fine, but the price should be much lower than the ones with the graphics, especially the Oh Boy CDs with the miniature program inserts.

There are other versions of some of the artists’ CDs. In fact, the Spirit CD is difficult to find on the Oh Boy label. The most common version is one call "Feedback Texas Style." That one has eight songs from the festival and ten from the album, "Feedback," that Spirit released in 1972, but has yet to be released on CD for some reason.

Besides the Oh Boy version, Janis’s performance is sold under the name "Raise Your Hand," which was the first song she sang at the festival, and "Turn On Your Love Light," which contains some other performances.

Johnny Winter’s performance is also sold as "Johnny Winter Live" and White Lightning.

Led Zeppelin’s CD is sold a number of different ways including "Don’t Mess With Texas." (Bet you never heard that phrase in 1969!) One version has a photo of Jimmy Page on the cover that is obviously from years later.

There’s a box set of three albums that contains songs by artists who are not included on an album of their own. One artist on the box set, Lu Mitchell, did not play at the festival. She was merely an attendee one day there. She’s a long-time Dallas folk musician who wrote a song about the media coverage of the festival, and someone decided to include it. The CD box set, if bought together as Oh Boy manufactured it, comes in and LP-sized box. and the replica of the program is full size.

The original LPs came in a plain, white album cover with the name of the band and "Live at Texas Pop Festival" stamped on the front with a rubber stamp. Later, the LPs came with transparent, colored records. Each artist had a different color. Janis’ was pink; Sly’s was yellow. Those show up on eBay occasionally, usually with a steep price tag.

Unfortunately, Freddie King, Nazz and Shiva’s Headband, as far as I can tell, didn’t get put on any of the albums. Of course, the bands that played at the free stage and not at the main stage were not recorded.
