Feel the same way when I pay $30 for a reissue of "After Bathing at Baxters." But then I listen to "Won't You Try/Saturday Afternoon" and it's 1967 all over again.
I do miss Quadrophenia with the full size photo booklet, the Floyd Hipgnosis album covers, Led Zeppelin III with the wheelie cutout jacket and Some Girls with yes, Lucy and Desi's photos hanging out with the Stones, among others.
All that and more I have digitally, but it just ain't the same.
FDR in Trinidad
by Fitz McHugh
When Roosevelt came to the land of the hummin'bird, shouts of welcome were heard.
When Roosevelt came to the land of the hummin'bird, shouts of welcome were heard.
His visit to their island is bound to be an epoch in local history,
Definitely marking the new era, keeping Trinidad in America.
For this great man, jubilation was evinced by the entire population.
Friendship for the U.S.A. was shown, and from his house the stars and the stripes were flown
For the state to open the gate to the president of the United States.
In fact everybody was glad to welcome Roosevelt to Trinidad.
We are privileged to see the democratic president of the great republic
With his charm an' congenial personality and his wonderful urbanity.
We were struck by his modest style and was intrigued by the famous Roosevelt smile.
No wonder everybody was glad to welcome Roosevelt to Trinidad.
Now we understand that the president had just been on a visit to Brazil and the Argentine,
Mr. Cordell Hull in attendance, they took part in a peace conference.
To stop war and atrocity and make the world safe for democracy:
The greatest event in the century in the interest of suffering humanity!
There was a apparently a whole genre of calypso/news songs designed to deliver news to a large, poor, possibly illiterate population. "♪♫It was love and love alone/ That made King Edward leave his throne♪♫," etc.
Ah I knew it was Ry Cooder! Had this on Vinyl and one of the stupid things I did was offload all my old records pre move. Sad!
I woulda given you $10 for all of 'em.
I know. I was A Idiot.

WHOA. Cool.
Did not know that one [ or more likely , just not remember ]
There was a apparently a whole genre of calypso/news songs designed to deliver news to a large, poor, possibly illiterate population. "♪♫It was love and love alone/ That made King Edward leave his throne♪♫," etc.
