friends are good
A package arrived in the mail today with two CDs of stuff from the 60s, put together by Phil Dellio, who comments around these parts on occasion. Phil's a renaissance guy after my own heart ... he's taught 7th grade and written a book titled after a Ramones' song. (There's a funny YouTube clip of Phil talking about buying records ... funny because of the comments, the first of which is "Mr. Dellio is a teacher at my school!") I can't wait to dig into these discs ... looking at the track lists, there's everything from audio excerpts of Richard Daley and Planet of the Apes to songs by Claudine Longet, the Miracles, and the International Submarine Band. Thanks, Phil!
Steve -- Thanks for the post. Just to clarify, all the songs (plus the audio clips, plus the cover images) are from '68, in keeping with your ongoing timeline. I cheated twice--the Springfield and Airplane tracks appeared on LPs that were released in November of '67, but I figure that's late enough that whatever impact they had (neither was a single) would more likely have come in '68.
