Sandy (Sandy Salisbury album)

Sandy was originally recorded in 1969 for Gary Usher's Together Records, a venture that was brief enough that the label collapsed before the album (along with several others) could be released.

There are three versions of this on CD, each one featuring different bonus tracks. The original release by Poptones featured just one bonus track, an instrumental version of "Once I Knew a Little Dog". The Japanese version features three bonus tracks. All three tracks are demos, and two of the songs weren't part of the original album. The most recent release, by Rev-Ola, contains 13 bonus tracks.

Production
Of the album's production, Salisbury reflected:

"I think Columbia had had enough of us because we spent way too much money. So they– Curt and Gary and Keith– moved on to a recording studio out in the valley called Sound City. And so we recorded that album in Sound City. And I, that was a great experience. I was just like working with the Millennium except it was just me and Curt. And I think we brought a couple people in. Lee Mallory, he worked on some, we had like a steel guitar player come in, which I loved."
