The Broadside Tapes 1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Broadside Tapes 1, alternatively known as Broadside Ballads, Vol. 14, was a compilation of demonstration recordings done by Phil Ochs for Broadside Magazine in the early-to-late 1960s. Of the sixteen songs that appeared, ranging from the humorous ("The Ballad of Alferd Packer") to the depressing ("The Passing of My Life"), all were new to listeners. The album closed with a live cover of The Beatles' "I Should Have Known Better" (retitled "I Shoulda Known Better") featuring Eric Andersen on harmony vocals and harmonica.
