“Take Heart/Tom Jans” - US reissue CD - front inlay

Singles



Mimi Farina and Tom Jans
Good God, I’m Feeling Fine/Good God I'm Feeling Fine
A&M 1339/1339-S (2276/2276-S) (1971) - US 7" single

Notes: 1) This is a promotional copy of a track not included in the “Take Heart” album. On one side the mix is in mono and on the other it is in stereo. 2) According to www.tomjans.com/TJ-disc.htm same track was issued as side A of a single having the album track “Reach Out” on side B. Catalog number mentioned on said website page (1339-S) suggests that single was mixed in stereo. This particular promotional copy bears four different catalog numbers instead: a mono and stereo 1339 and a mono and stereo 2276. 3) No credits for the musicians are listed on label, except for the producer Michael Jackson. It makes sense to think that this track was recorded during the same “Take Heart” sessions (see entry above), with the same group of musicians including Lee.

a-side

1 - Good God, I’m Feeling Fine - stereo mix

b-side

2 - Good God, I’m Feeling Fine - mono mix

“When Billy Blake asked Lazarus how come he lay down on his left side and his right side so long and eat dung, he (Lazarus) said, “The desire to raise man’s perception to the infinite,” or some such. // Like Joh Prine says, the Lord works in mysterious ways. // I say thanks to David Kent, and Marty for the mood and the mix, and to Mike, Sammy, Jerry, Lee, Gary, Terry, Billy, Sherlie, Rita, Clydie, Byron, Allen, Jack for the music, and to Teddy Jack Eddie and the mayor for helping me learn to fall in slow motion and make my own salad. // Yours in sport, Casi Demento”.
