    You can find a very good edit of the track "I Walked on Guilded Splinters" on Schvitz Edits 01:
    It is a little faster with a groovy beat and percussion and a homage to the the original version on this albumhttps://discogs.librosgratis.biz/de/Various-Schvitz-Edits-001/release/11563628

      I'm sure all the pressings from '68 sound fierce but if they all sound like this one all the better. The bass in the left channel of Mama Roux is so bubbly, in Danse Fambeaux the guitar sounds like it's coming out of a back room. Such a superb album. For all Dr. John's output he never did match the raw primal intensity of this album. It's an absolutely haunting recording.
