Subject: RE: Oscar Brand's recordings
The Audio-Fidelity liner notes are humorous and unreliable.

For example, he descrobes Tom Bolynn as a "hero of the sexual world," even though his bawdy version seems to be largely original.

Is anyone aware of a pre-Brand bawdy version? Not impossible....

There are mildly bawdy verses to the related "Brian O'Linn," but Brand's song is uniquely elaborate.
