Together the two (who happened to have been buds with Jimi Hendrix as kids) formed Ballin' Jack, and released music like this:



Ballin' Jack - Found A Child (1972)

Anyway, the other song I liked on the Columbia compilation was by the Soft Machine:




The Soft Machine - Bloody Outrageous (1972)

Send it back.
