The article looks well on its way now, but yes, I'll certainly be supporting in a day or two. I just want to read it through again to see if anything leaps out at me.

I'll mention one thing that's niggled at me for a while, which is if it's possible to be, as it were, more precise about the ambiguities of the Band-only tracks in the lead text of the Columbia Records compilation section. For instance, it states, "According to Fraboni, four new songs by the Band were also recorded in preparation for the album's official release, one of which, a cover of Chuck Berry's 'Going Back to Memphis', did not end up being included." I wonder if something like this should be added: "However, there is no scholarly consensus that the three songs on the album Fraboni says were recorded in 1975—"Bessie Smith", "Ain't No More Cane" and "Don't Ya Tell Henry"—were, in fact, recorded then." (On the other hand, it seems far more likely to me that Fraboni/Griffin is right than Bowman, so I dunno...)—
