The new musicians he was recording with was a path the man would follow the rest of his life, and the subject matter of the songs opened up new vistas which would stay open to the present day,” it added. “It has a sound of freedom to it which marked his future.”In the upcoming anniversary edition reissue, a new version of the album artwork has been incorporated, which sees ‘50’ added to the cover to represent the passing of time.
