Yes, but I have a copy also (true), and there's something Theresa ISN'T telling you (possibly true): if you play the record backwards you can hear Bryan saying "C'mon, Lindsey dePaul" (tries to laugh, ends up making that horrible snorting sound) "Let's have it off in the gent's-- Jerry doesn't have to know..." (well... anything's possible...) BTW, fans who have a copy of ATAWWII are probably the only ones who will get this.

What`s really sad about this album is that what could have been a bright moment, like Tina Turner`s Come Together, is ruined by embarrassingly god awful mixing/editing. There are maybe 3 songs on this album is worthy of a second listen. On a side note, I do like the quaint feature of pressing sides 1 & 4 on one platter and 2 & 3 on the other for use with those stackable turn tables. For those of you not familiar with this feature, it allowed you to stack several albums on top of each other, scratching them all up. This eliminated the dreadful chore of having to flip (or change) the record by incorporating a mechanism that detected the end of the album and allowed platter 2 (with side 2 facing up and ready to play) to drop like a brick on top of the spinning platter 1, thus, scratching them all up. This feature was considered laughable and obsolete even back in '76, when the album was released.

Does anyone have the correct date? I can never remember and I'm sure as he gets older neither does Bryan want to remember. It's the thing at work to buy treats for our favorite celeb birthdays (Yeah we're bored) so I want to do the honours for my favorite singer and believe me it won't be dunkin donut holes! Also there was a blurb in one of the Chicago paper's about an Ernest Hemmingway auction and that one of the things auctioned off is his collection of Hawaiian shirts and not only Jack Nicholson was vying for them but our dear Mr. Ferry as well. Didn't know he was a Papa fan. Anyway I hope that he is at least doing a phone bid from a recording studio (crossing my fingers here) or that he'll have to shell out so many pounds for one of these luverly keepsakes that he'll have to tour again in order to make some more money!
