<\/center>In 1968, the concept of a \u201csupergroup\u201d was still fresh; Lillian Roxon<\/strong> even wrote about it \u2013 and its possibilities \u2013 in her Rock Encyclopedia<\/em>. Al Kooper<\/strong> devised what became Super Session<\/em> as a collaboration between him and guitarist Mike Bloomfield, late of Paul Butterfield Blues Band <\/strong><\/a>and Electric Flag<\/strong>. When the notoriously unreliable Bloomfield flaked halfway through the project, Kooper brought in Steve Stills<\/strong> to finish the album. Tasty (and generally tasteful) playing is all over the nine-track record. This release includes the long-delayed 5.1 mix version; Kooper’s liner notes tell the story. A sixties artifact everyone should hear.<\/p>\n
