What JB album is this from ?

[Basil Henriques]

On another forum I posted the tab of "The Moon of Manakoora" and THIS folder of 20 versions of the song/tune.

I'm curious as to which Jerry Byrd album his version comes from and also where and when it was recorded. Jerry's version has lots of improvisation and additions to the melody and displays his superb mastery of the instrument, BUT, it's rather strange because it seems he forgot to overdub the melody just after the overdub of the harmonics in the second time 'round. Must have been the engineer's fault but I'm surprised that Jerry didn't notice.

Jerry Byrd version

0:42 starts improvisation
1:15 starts harmonics
1:32 is the strange sections missing the top line of the melody.

Knowing how some of the guys here like a challenge, and others like to dispute almost everything just for fun, let's see what you have to say about if it's really an omission or intentional, and IF it's intentional what's the reasoning behind your view ?
