Fearing Fred wouldn't return to the studio, his friend and guitar player, Peter Childs, invited him over to his apartment at 38 MacDougal.According to Childs, \"the best chance to get him back wouldn't be to try to persuade him verbally, but to get him over to the apartment for a bit of music-making\".Luckily for us, Fred accepted the invitation.What ensued was an afternoon of pure Fred Neil, playing and singing the way he always preferred, not on stage or in a recording studio, but in an informal setting amongst friends, captured on Ampex reel to reel, and stored for over fifty years!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The apartment recordings at 38 MacDougal were beautifully detailed in Peter Lee Neff's 2018 Fred Neil biography, \u003ci\u003eThat's The Bag I'm In\u003c\/i\u003e.
