LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Two of Phil's classic A&M albums! 'Rehearsals for Retirement' is sort of the soundtrack to the Chicago '68 Democratic convention, which Ochs attended; angry and acidly bitter, it reflects his disillusionment with American society, the protest movement and even himself. An extraordinary record. Meanwhile, the live album 'Gunfight at Carnegie Hall', which only came out in Canada, aroused controversy for its unlikely covers of Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley. 19 tracks on 2 CDs!
