Have at it! I would like to see it. If you have it digitized, but needs resizing, just email it to me and I can resize it and post.

The original shot from the booklet of the original pressing is featured also on the booklet of the latest remaster (Rhino) which has additional shots from the same session. The pics show that Chris' Telecaster had the white pickguard that is missing from the auction pics.

Anyone else here want to know what's in the stack of LP's behind Chris? I know I do! I'd love to know everything those guys were listening to at the time.

I heard it was one of Steve's banjos that was recorded at double speed and then drops one octave once returned to normal speed! (it's how Chris got that really fiborus sound)
