In 1969 - some three years before his self-titled debut solidified his stature as a pre-eminent Fender bender - Roy Buchanan signed with Polydor Records and began work on his first full-length platter.

But it took 35 years before this material saw the light of day with the release of The Prophet: The Unreleased First Polydor Album on CD. Augmenting the 11-track running order that would have made up that disc, the single-CD package contained 30-plus minutes of previously unreleased outtakes, including tunes documented at an aborted March of 1971 session. This stuff is every bit as good as the official Polydor releases; the medley of “After Hours”/”The Messiah Will Come Again,” for instance, might even be better than the respective later versions of those songs that showed up on Roy’s albums.
