She worked at Island then, left for several years and ended up returning when I started in the 80′s. I remember Kathy Kenyon sending an envelope of singles to my college radio station back in ’76. It was a bit of a first in it’s day, critics choice and all that. Turns out the legendary album by The Wild Tchoupitoulas was even more legendary than originally thought.

How chuffed was I when The Walker Brothers covered ‘No Regrets’ in ’75, and so incredibly as well. Not that anyone’s ever mentioned that, but I do wish they would. I reckon he’s the US equivalent of Nick Drake. Little did I know, Tom Rush would indeed become a national treasure, to me at least. Elektra meant good stuff and all us record nuts trusted the label’s taste.
I liked the quality of their pressings and packaging, having already owned both the first two Love album, The Doors and The Paul Butterfield Blues Band’s EAST WEST by then. I was eyeing that Tom Rush title for a few weeks. One lawn mowing marathon, bitterly undertaken while my buddies got to go swimming, yielded The Cream FRESH CREAM and Tom Rush THE CIRCLE GAME. The station got very few, meaning those I had to buy. I would go up and down each yard, factor out every financial threshold point that meant….ding ding ding….enough to buy another album.īy this time, I was scamming stacks of 45′s from the local adult station, WMCR. Lucky for me, all my friends were lazy – so the jobs came my way. Probably because they remind me of how I earned money to buy records as a kid, mowing the lawn of every neighbor in the block.
