Mike Blakesley said:Beat of the Brass ... The album opens with Slick
Check your record, dude.....the album opens with "Monday, Monday."
"Slick" is track 1 on side 2.
Mike, I have learned something new today...
I never really noticed that.
I got Beat of the Brass way back about the time it was released in 1968, and I never paid any attention whatsoever. Pretty much whenever I put it on the record player, I put the side with Slick on first because it was by far my favorite song on the album. I remember hearing it on the radio; the DJ on one of the popular local radio stations back then put it on when he signed off just before the 3:00 pm news.
I got so used to that I have assumed all these years that Slick was song 1 on side 1. Duh!
After listening to the album for awhile, I began to like The Robin, which is on the same side. The big hit of the times, This Guy's...is the end of that same side.
I listened to Monday, Monday, but not as much as the other side. I did, however, begin to develop a liking for Panama also. But, I have never been able to warm up to Talk to the Animals...
I am looking forward to this CD...
