Due for release on 3/8:

AL KOOPER - EASY DOES IT/NEW YORK CITY/A POSSIBLE PROJECTION..(3 ON 2)

"If you think about it Kooper and Leon Russell were kindred spirits in sort of a parallel universe in the sixties with their session work and behind the scenes moving and shaking. It’s just when the seventies rolled around Leon started having commercial success while Kooper remained a bit under the radar. This two disc set collects up three complete albums done for Columbia from 1970-1972. I don’t think they’ve been on disc before. His comfort in several genres as well as fusing styles is on full display here. Lots of covers and originals to remind us of another time and place in our musical history."

Love Al Kooper and I'll probably end up getting this although I already have New York City and have mp3 versions of the other two. I'm glad that these are coming back into print but I wish that they'd reissue them separately rather than combined so I didn't have to rebuy albums I already own. I have the same problem that the only way I can buy "You Never Know Who Your Friends Are" is to purchase it paired with "I Stand Alone" which I already own.
