What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Third album from one of my favorite 60's bands. My love of music had been interupted by a trip to Korea, courtesy of Uncle Sam. Not much new music available there at the time, but I did manage to pick this up. I remember it so well that I recall picking up Electric Ladyland at the same time. A little hash (not corned beef) enhanced the experience. This album lives up to the previous two for me, although I was never crazy about the big hit, their second #1 single of Hello I Love You. Favorite was always The Unknown Soldier. Nothing bad on here, loving four other tracks as well. The album was the groups first #1 here, and also their first hit in the U.K. coming in at #16. Not sure why, but the title of the album was a song that would not appear until the album Morrison Hotel.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Summer's Almost Gone

Best Track - The Unknown Soldier

Wait until the war is over
And we're both a little older
The unknown soldier

Breakfast where the news is read
Television children fed
Unborn living, living, dead
Bullet strikes the helmet's head

And it's all over
For the unknown soldier
It's all over
For the unknown soldier

Hut
Hut
Hut ho hee up
Hut
Hut
Hut ho hee up
Hut
Hut
Hut ho hee up
Comp'nee
Halt
Preeee-zent!
Arms!

Make a grave for the unknown soldier
Nestled in your hollow shoulder
The unknown soldier

Breakfast where the news is read
Television children fed
Bullet strikes the helmet's head

And, it's all over
The war is over
It's all over
The war is over
Well, all over, baby
All over, baby
Oh, over, yeah
All over, baby
Wooooo, hah-hah
All over
All over, baby
Oh, woa-yeah
All over
All over
Heeeeyyyy
