Notes

Similar to Alexander Spence - Oar, but without additional DADC code on label.

Mastered at Sundazed Studios, Coxsackie, NY, May 19, 1999.

Originally issued as Columbia CS 9381, May 19, 1969.

Original recording dates:
Tracks 3 & 6 recorded December 3, 1968, Nashville, Tennessee.
Tracks 1, 2 & 5 recorded December 5, 1968, Nashville, Tennessee.
Tracks 9 & 11 recorded December 6, 1968, Nashville, Tennessee.
Tracks 4, 7, 8, 10, 12 & 13-22 recorded December 12, 1968, Nashville, Tennessee.

"Sundazed is proud to restore the original Columbia album version of 'Oar' (tracks 1-12 on this disc) directly from the Nashville 2-track master tapes, circa 1968.

The bonus cuts (tracks 13-22) on this Sundazed edition are exact representations of what Skip recorded on December 12, 1968 - the last day of the heady and historic 'Oar' sessions."

Dedicated in loving memory to Mrs. Gwenneth Spence (May 21, 1918 - October 14, 1992).

Original dedication: Olga
