4.0 out of 5 stars
Check out "Plectrist" before buying this, November 3, 2008
The first eight tracks are the 10" LP "Let's Have a Session", which was a sort of play-along, intended to allow a musician or singer to practice with the backing of a top band. As such, although they are complete tunes, they are not complete performances. The track listings for 1-4 and 5-8 are reversed, which may indicate the extent to which the absence of the melody obscures the identity of the tunes (at least to the compiler). These are interesting if you are investigating comping, but probably a little sparse to play for regular listening.
The remaining tracks are the originally released 12" LP "Plectrist". This is most likely what you are looking for. The stand-alone version of "Plectrist" currently available on Amazon (Nov. 2008) also includes three alternate takes of "The Way You Look Tonight", and one of "Lullaby of the Leaves". Check it out before buying this.
