This is one of the many Nightbird & Company two record promo sets produced by the United States Army Reserve in the '70s for radio syndication and not commercial sale. Of course, most people who listened to FM rock radio in the New York metropolitan area know that "The Nightbird" was ALISON STEELE (her name is on the labels of all records in this set), a long-time DJ for WNEW -FM, most notably in the graveyard shift, hence The Nightbird nickname. Steele was a strong supporter and promoter of prog-rock bands like Yes, Genesis, Renaissance and the Moody Blues, as well as hippie favorites like Santana and the Grateful Dead. The records contain Steele's interviews with the artists in the program above, as well their music, and of course, U.S. Army Reserve commercials.

I have seen a couple of different Nightbird & Company sets with the Climax Blues Band, but this is the only one I know of with Taro Meyer, Rick Nelson and Dough Sahm. Taro Meyer was a singer along the lines of Carole King, Carly Simon, Rita Coolidge, et al, but she is better known as an actress and Grammy-winning audiobook producer. (She recorded and released only one album in 1973 as a singer.) Of course, you know who Rick Nelson and Doug Sahm are. Not only collectible promo records but also wonderful nostalgia!

The records were all completely play-tested EXCELLENT. The box is Excellent too with only one corner split.
