Spent yesterday evening listening to my Phil Ochs albums, and thought I'd
submit a discography (this is what I have and a couple others mentioned on
one of the albums; if anybody knows of any others, please send in a list):

Elektra albums (stereo numbers only given -- anyone out there old enough to
remember mono vs. stereo dual inventory?):

EKS-7269  ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO SING (I don't have this one)

EKS-7287  I AIN'T MARCHING ANYMORE (Don't have this one either)

EKS-7310  PHIL OCHS IN CONCERT (1966)  "Cops of the World", "Love Me, I'm
		a Liberal"

A & M albums:

SP-4133  PLEASURES OF THE HARBOR  "Outside of a Small Circle of Friends",
		"Miranda", "The Party"

SP-4148  TAPE FROM CALIFORNIA  "The War is Over", "White Boots Marching in a
		Yellow Land", "Floods of Florence"

SP-4181  REHEARSALS FOR RETIREMENT  "Pretty Smart on My Part", "I Kill,
		Therefore I Am", "William Butler Yeats Visits Lincoln Park
		and Escapes Unscathed", "The World Began in Eden But Ended
		in Los Angeles"

SP-4253  PHIL OCHS GREATEST HITS  (not really a "Greatest Hits" album [I
		guess he didn't have any!] but a parody of many musical styles;
		Elvis parody cover and the famous slogan, "50 Phil Ochs fans
		can't be wrong!")  "Jim Dean of Indiana", "My Kingdom for a
		Car", "Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and Me"  (This is the only
		A & M album shoing a date of any kind -- one track was
		recorded in 1969)

That's it, as far as I know. I have a very vague recollection of Ochs being
killed (car wreck?) shortly after this last album, but I may well be wrong
about that.

Linclon Mayorga played piano on the first three A & M albums listed above,
for any Sheffield freaks out there...

I mentioned above a few of the more memorable songs on each of the albums
I have; the title songs on the first three A & M discs are also worth hearing.

Ah, nostalgia... Campus life in the sixties... Tear gas in the quad and the
smoke from the burning ROTC building rising over the trees in the sunset...

We now return you to real life...
