  1. CD1 #4 should properly be attributed to Big Brother & the Holding Company, whose singer Janis Joplin was. I didn't remember that release charting at all, tbqh, but just checked and sonuvagun, it made #43 on Billboard.

  4. Thanks BB. I never got the humour in Tiny Tim. It all just left me cold. But it takes all sorts as they say.
    1968 what a time to be alive!
