I have a live version of this song (alabaster), i have no idea if its a cover, an original or when it was played.
Was there a studio demo, or even a better quality live recording, because mine is pretty poor, but it sounds like a good song, i would like to get my hands on a better recording. Any information would be great.
I also stumbled over Alabaster somewhere in the worldwideweb!!!
I wonder why Billy never recorded a studioversion within his reeltime sesions, the song is pretty good!
"Alabaster" was a hella good song...they might've recorded it if Jimmy didn't show up for the damn live-only to studio recording sessions! Dammit, that really ruined everything, especially since Billy had payed $1750.00 for that sessions. Oh well, at least we got "Fat Man Blues" and "Vanilla" out of it which were damn good songs. I'm also glad they recorded "Waiting For You Now" as an acoustic track.
