Evan Marcus got that piece of information (Classics IV -> ARS) from me,
I believe, and I got it from the ARS when I interviewed them in 1977. It
turns out that several of them played with the Classics IV but remained
unlisted on cuts, discographies, etc.  However, if my memory is correct,
I believe that J.R. Cobb was the only "true" Classics IV player.
