"A CD no 60's/70's era hip music fan should be without!
Finally released(snatch it up while it's here!)Jamie dishes out some great folk fun with Legend of the USS Titanic and Talkin' Green Beret New Super Yellow Hydraulic Banana Teeny Bopper Blue. Oft overlooked but never forgotten by the faithful we now get to bask in the full glory of this LP on a clean, well transfered CD release. A must have in any self respecting collectors CD bin! Any fan of Alice's Restaurant should also posess this rare gem, mark my words it'll be gone and out of print so grab it while it's here."
I remember The Legend of the USS Titanic

"Back in the 60s and 70s an AM station in Little Rock, Arkansas (KAAY) had one of the best late-night underground radio programs in the country. It was called Beeker Street and its host was Clyde Clifford. Had a weird, and hypnotic soundtrack like synthesized dripping water. But I digress. The Legend of the USS Titanic was some of the regular fare served up on Beeker Street and was one of those frenetic songs that sent me in search of more. I have a treasured LP I picked up in the 80s and am thrilled to now be able to get a CD and save my precious vinyl. Titanic is right up there with Alice's Restaraunt and I am sure Arlo would be pround to share the stage with Jamie."

"I searched for a copy of this album for twentyfive years originally turned onto it,about 1978 contacted any and everyone I could to find a copy especially after all the time and effort just to find it.Good fun lots of memories,I am friends with a DJ at one of our local radio stations near me and it took him three days to acquire it after I had dropped it of at the station.
Some remember it some don't but ALLL have enjoyed,time travel.1969 is alive and well,never to be forgotten(did I have a good time)I heard I Did."

"I was surprised to find this "Classic" on CD. Lost my copy on cassett many years ago. Jamie Brockett sounds even better now digitized than he did in the 70's."

"If you "Google" - The Legend Of the USS Titanic or Jamie Brockett, you will find much more than I have the energy to write. "The Legend Of The USS Titanic" is one of the funniest underground "talking" folk songs ever written, right up there or (maybe) better than "Alice's Restaurant." No slur intended towards Arlo Guthrie at all."
