All The News That's Fit To Sing

Phil’s 1964 debut release was all that and more, sporting not only songs drawn from the tumultous events of the day but also an adaptation of an Edgar Allan Poe poem (The Bells) and a tribute to Woody Guthrie (Bound for Glory)—immediate notice of a major new songwriting talent on the scene. When we were surveying the Elektra catalog to determine which albums to reissue, we were surprised, nay, astonished to discover that the first two albums by Phil Ochs had fallen out of print! These are only two of the most important albums of the early-to-mid-’60s folk music explosion, sporting some of the most barbed topical songs of the decade, and they are reissued here with new notes and mastering. A pair of indispensable exclusives!
