Three Stars For One Song

"There isn't much information available on the site about this album but the original title was "2525 (exordium & terminus") released in 1969 by RCA Victor. The first time I heard "In The Year 2525 (exordium & terminus")(the song's full title) I was a kid riding his bicycle with an A M radio taped to the handlebars. The prophetic song was originally written by Rick Evans in 1964 and when he joined forces with Denny Zager in 1968 they pressed their own copies of the song and it was eventually brought to the attention of RCA. The rest of the album's tunes are reminiscent of Don McLean's American Pie album; One big hit with a bunch of folksey sounding filler surrounding it."

This is a bootleg CD

"I do not have this CD, but I do know that this is a bootleg disc of Zager & Evans's 2 RCA albums, plus the Truth label version of "In The Year 2525" and the 45 version of "Mister Turnkey" as a bonus track. These 2 albums will soon be reissued by Wounded Bird, so potential buyers should buy the In the Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)/Zager & Evans twofer on Wounded Bird that is linked in this review instead of the bootleg, even though the bonus material is not included."
