Why Esoteric Records titled the remastered edition "Elements 1970-1971"...


Some TEB listeners and fans disapproved the decision of Esoteric Records to title the remastered and expanded "Third Ear Band" edition as "Elements 1970-1971".
The choice was not accidental or shallow, but it was the consequence of some deep considerations.

"Elements" was one of the titles as the album became famous among fans and music journalists, even if often was replaced with the more appropriate "Air, Earth, Fire and Water".

Because as a matter of fact, these 3CDs are a document of a specific period of the TEB story it seems more appropriate to title it "Elements 1970-1971": in fact this is not a mere reissue of the 1970 original album with alternate or unreleased tracks from that recording sessions, but it's a more elaborate document about a sort of 'work in progress' for projecting and realising that spectacular record.
