MIKE BLOOMFIELD / AL KOOPER / STEPHEN STILLS - Super Session (CBS S 63396) Holland 1968 LP (Blues Rock) | vinyl: NM (mint-) | cover: VG++ (excellent) close to NM

The record was made by Al Kooper who was the founding member of Blood Sweat & Tears, Stephen Stills was from Buffalo Springfield and later to become a member of Crosby, Stills & Nash, along Mike Bloomfield of the famed Electric Flag. Both Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper had backed Bob Dylan on his earth shattering recording of Highway 61 Revisited, and Al Kooper had been a member of Dylan’s band when they took The Newport Folk Festival by storm, forever changing everything anyone ever thought they had known about music before. Along with these legendary musicians was drummer Eddie Hoh, bass guitarist Harvy Brooks, and keyboard player Barry Goldberg, who was also with Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival. The actual cause for Stephen Stills being present is under much speculation, though it is probably safe to say that if it had not been for the heroin habit of Mike Bloomfield, who just up and disappeared half way through the recording, Stephen would not have been present at all ... sometimes magic does strike from the ashes of tragedy.
