Comments: CD was reissued later, and was not available in 1985. The lyrics are included in the CD booklet, and were not in my copy of the LP. Actually, this recording is quite enjoyable, humorous in places, and nearly approaching Rock in others. Rick even sings on #8, but through a megaphone effect, so you still can't tell what he sounds like. I don't know if the "Ghost" was supposed to be any more autobiographical than Tull's "Too Old to Rock & Roll...", but it is more amusing. (appendex rhymes with Jimmy Hendrix, and "There's more grooves on his face than on his latest LP")
