Subject: RE: Phil Ochs: PBS Documentary
These are re-runs - the program was aired last year, and a DVD
is available.
The lack of additional material on the DVD is a disappointment - the concert footage should have been provided, unedited, and without
voice-over, as well as complete interviews.
Otherwise, an excellent document.
There are a great number of audio recordings available, including a CD
of material recorded before the classic Elektra albums, and a concert from 1970 supporting Greenpeace.
The Elektra-UK compilation (American Troubador) includes his African recording - a decade before Paul Simon harvested that musical treasure.
Best wishes, Thomas.
