Hi everybody,
I have the honor of performing a Malvina Reynolds mini-concert/workshop at the New England Folk Festival this April (visit neffa.org for details). I already have several Malvina albums & songbooks, but I have one album on tape that I copied from an LP years ago, and can't figure out *which* lp it was! The songs on the tape are:
The New Restaurant * What's going on down there * Little Boxes *Battle of Maxton Field * God Bless the Grass * I don't mind failing * What have they done to the rain * The Devil's Baptizin' * Singin' Jesus * The Bloody Neat * Quiet * Magic Penny * Bitter Rain

Any idea which album this is?
Also, I can't seem to find a list of the songs on the albums I don't have, namely:
Malvina Reynolds (1970) Century City CCR5100 / Cassandra CFS 5100
Malvina… Held Over (1975); Cassandra Records CFS-3688
Malvina Reynolds Sings The Truth (1968) on Columbia, CS 9414
Any suggestions or ideas?

By the way, here is the bibliography/discography I've put together thus far for Malvina... please email me with any updates or changes at heatherlev@hotmail.com. Thanks!
