The Decemberists - Cavalry Captain b/w Philomena

A lost single from 1967 ;) Great horn charts on side one, and some flipped out Bacharach violin charts on side 2. Saw those wonderful back-up singers on American Bandstand just last week - always a joy.

Enjoy both sides - I know this eartaster loves to keep flipping this one - good finger excercise. And, for those still young enough - both sides are easy to dance to!

"I am the common collective"
Cavalry Captain

"I found I quickly bored - I wanted more! So I'll be your candle, and I'll be your statuette!"
Philomena

"We know you threw your arms around us
In the hopes we wouldn’t change
But we had to change some
You know, to belong to you"
