250 Albums- An Arbitrary Rumble Through My Record Collection # 182 Peter Paul & Mary - Album 1700

 

It's one thing having a lot of recirds. It's another playing them as much as they deserve . There is never enough time for that. I bought this in New York in 1993 I think. On a visit to New York to see my brother. It was an exciting time.. He had a flat in a brownstone in Greenwich Village. He was courting the woman who became his wife. We saw Toto The Hero in an arts cinema. I saw Band of Susans at The Knitting Factory. Went To Bleeker Bob's. Went to Washington D.C. to visit a friend.

This us the  Peter Paul & Mary with Leaving On A Jet Plane on it. It has a cool, resonant flow. The three of them are dressed as gangsters wuth their moll on the sleeve. Philip Roth was resntful when Dylan won the Nobel Prize when he had been expecting it. He asked 'who next? Peter Paul & Mary? On the evidence of this they had a claim.
