Some enchanted evening.

[Ted O. Jackson]

Just picked up a copy of the above title for 2 bucks.  12 incher
vinyl, of course.  Pretty good shape, too, with picture sleeve of
Allen and Eric at cruising altitude aboard the ubiquitous Lear jet.
Don't know if the band ever had/used one, but makes for a great photo
shoot!  Reverse side features concert photos of the band members.
Most cool.  The label features the portrait of the reaper from the
album cover.

Probably my least favorite 'real' BOC album, but not 'cause I don't
like it.  I was in a band that played a lot of BOC when the album
came out, and we covered four songs off it:  'R U
Ready...,''Godzilla,' 'Reaper' and 'We Gotta...'(Our singer liked The
Animals).  Anyway, that meant listening to the album a million times
to get the guitar solos down.  Wound up hating some of my favorite
songs!  Glad we didn't decide to cover 'Astronomy.'  Has anyone
noticed that 'Reaper' appears to be speeded up?  I recall that I had
to figure it out in Bm and then move it down to Am.  I know it's in
Am 'cause I've seen them play it a million times, and the version on
'Agents' is definitely in Am.  Maybe it was just the piece of shit
turntable I had at the time?  Any comments?
