War War War


Country Joe's settings of anti-war poems by Robert Service -- amazing, heart-rending stuff. This is a vinyl rip; it did come out briefly on CD in 1995, but now commands huge prices on Amazon. Thanks to the unknown soul who ripped his vinyl for us! There is one artifact at the beginning of track 5, but this is the only version I've ever been able to find.


Track Listing

1. Forward
2. Call
3. Young Fellow, My Lad
4. The Man From Athabasca
5. Munition Maker
6. Twins
7. Jean Desprez
8. War Widow
9. March of the Dead
