"In December 1968, a young Californian musician walked out of a Nashville recording studio for the last time. Having applied the finishing touches, the slight 22-year-old's first and final solo album would be released the following year to near-silence. One of many low-budget, quick-fix LPs released in the dying days of the 1960s, it even went on to the rather embarrassing feat of being (for some time) the worst-selling LP in Columbia Records history ... In the burgeoning Haight-Ashbury scene, Spence - known to his friends and fans as 'Skip' - had a reputation as a promising songwriter and a consummate rhythm guitarist. He was even an early member of the pioneering bands Quicksilver Messenger Service and Jefferson Airplane, taking the drumming stool on their first LP, Jefferson Airplane Takes Off".

"Skippy's Oar is killer, much of the rest is filler ... This 3CD set has the original album, tracks from previous reissues and two hours of never-released outtakes, packaged in a hardcover, booklet with Fricke's definitive history. However, its sheer abundance means the set is destined for Spence diehards. The rarities are interesting - notably a haunting acoustic 12-string instrumental Diana - but most are for completists only".
