[edit] Relationship to Jewish liturgy

When this album was new (late 1968) it received quite a lot of airplay on late-night Sydney radio, and was most often referred to by its subtitle, the Kol Nidre - a prayer of antiquity.

And even on the AM radio which was all we then had in Australia, it sounded very good indeed. And now I know who was really playing the bass, guitar and drums, I begin to understand why! Andrewa 21:59, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

But, obviously it's not based directly on the Jewish ceremony the Kol Nidre. I'm wondering exactly what the connection is? It's entirely possible that David Axelrod invented the Christian liturgy and just named it after the Jewish one, but it would be good to know and say, either way. See also Talk:Kol Nidre.
