Phil Ochs - As I Walk Alone: Rare and Unreleased Demos

This was a actually rather interesting find a few months ago, for several reasons:

1)I had actually gone to the record store to search for the newly released On My Way 1963 demo sessions (which I will probably post next).
2) I had never heard of it
3) It appears to be a Japanese bootleg of some kind, which is kind of absurd. The CD inserts are made with Staples photo stock (made obvious by the watermark on the backsides) and the tracklisting on the back is misnumbered and omits a few tracks. PURE FUCKING QUALITY!

Of course I paid more than I probably should have for this, considering the quality, but goddamn is it a hefty dose of rare demos. The scan below is of the back insert (which as mentioned omits a few tracks) which showcases a pretty fantastic photo of some good ol' police on activist brutality.


So at last, enjoy these 45 or so fantastic tracks!

Disc 1
Disc 2

Wow; what IRONY!

FILE REMOVED, thanks (obviously) to a member of the LEFTIST/SOCIALIST OCHS ARMY.

Looks like (in the end) **CAPITALISM PREVAILS**, despite the dogma of the messenger.
