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.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely correct, Jonathan F. King.
DeleteI'll fix that reference.
Cheers.
Always love these comps with the familiar and those history has unfortunately forgotten.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dr Robert.
DeleteAppreciated.
I like the idea of familiar and obscure in a compilation too.
Cheers.
Many thanks BB, another good time capsule.
ReplyDeleteThank you, hedspace.
DeleteCheers.
Thanks BB. I never got the humour in Tiny Tim. It all just left me cold. But it takes all sorts as they say.
ReplyDelete1968 what a time to be alive!
