Hey SteveO, I think you need to edit your last post to get the quotes correct.
Re Bob Lind, I doubt you will find either of his first two albums as such, however there are a couple of compilations that contain all of what was on those albums, plus a few bonus tracks - different bonus tracks on the two.
You Might Have Heard My Footsteps - the Best of Bob Lind is the one I have and would recommend, as it has "It's Just My Love" as one of the bonus tracks.
If that's not available, you should be able to get the other one which is Elusive Butterfly - The Complete 1966 Jack Nitzsche Sessions. (The companies milk the popularity of Elusive Butterfly for all it is worth, which annoys the crap out of Lind as he does not want to be known as a nostalgia artist.) Avoid bootleg compilations; there are a couple around that appear from time to time on Amazon, but they contain nothing worthwhile that you can't get on the official releases.
The 1971 album Since There Were Circles is also very good and shows a somewhat moodier darker side of Lind.
The two more recent albums are still pretty good, but I do think his earlier ones are his best - an opinion that Lind disagrees with strongly.
Do NOT buy the Verve album "The Elusive Bob Lind." It's an unauthorised bootleg. Lind hates this album to bits, and not just because he makes no money from it; the production is horrible, with the exception of 3 or 4 tracks that sound OK, and they can probably be found on Youtube.
