Extra Notes : (by
Julian
Gill)
While working at Connecticut Recording Studios, Felix was
producing an album for former Blood, Sweat, and Tears member
Fred Lipsius. A Billboard magazine news item (Billboard 10/2/76)
indicated that the album had been mixed in New York in late-1976
and was pending release via Epic/CBS, the same label as
Treasure. Fred recalled that Vinnie was a "good 'groove' player,
and creative." Unfortunately the Lipsius album was shelved after
it was completed due to politics (personnel changes) at the
record label (Epic).
Of course, BS&T is of a genre opposite to later style that put
Vinnie's name on the public radar; pre-1982 he was in a totally
different school of sound. Other than playing, and the ability
to play, whatever was necessary to pay the bills, in this case
jazz.
This album was cancelled after the mixing stage due to a change
in leadership at the record label.
