              Rick  Jarrard (RCA Studios)


Rick was a producer at RCA and was looking for a
new project.  He had just completed producing Harry
Nilsson, Jose Feliciano and had co-produced
Surrealistic Pillow with Jefferson Airplane.  Lee
Atkinson, who was Dabek's agent at the time, knew
Rick and suggested he listen to some of his music.
After listening, Rick set up a session in RCA's
Hollywood studios and had him lay down some
tracks.  These tracks are the earliest tapes that exist of
Dabek's music.  They were recorded in March of
1969 and the only copies of those masters were on an
old 7" reel to reel tape that didn't fare too well in
storage for thirty years. All of these selections were
put through restoration processes.
