God, and I thought I was the only one who'd bought this
recently! I found a good vinyl copy, btw. Speaking of goofy
novelty songs, BBall Jones really takes me back to when I
was 11 or 12. It was all over the radio. My folks even let
me buy it on a 45, though I'm sure they weren't hip to
C&C's alternative image. They were pretty good about not
screening my music, unlike other parents, God bless 'em.
That's how I got my first copy of "Mississippi Queen -- the
kid down the street's mom thought she heard a cussword on
it. Even then none of us kids could understand the words. I
still can't.
PS -- Speaking of weird liner notes -- Los Cochinas lists
Klaus Voormann and I believe, George Harrison, as musicians
on the record. A stoner joke? True?
