Frank Zappa played the original version of Handsome Cabin Boy on USA Radio. Sung to ease the back-breaking work and fill up the long lonely nights with rowdy and profane entertainment. The booklet contains all the liner notes from the original mono LP which covers the history of the songs and the singers. Frank said (see notes - The Lost Episodes): 'When everyone else was listening to Cream I was listening to A. L. Loyd & Ewan MacColl. These were two old guys who used to record together, trying to replicate the original instrumentation of sea shanties. Some of the words were absolutely unbelieveable...I loaned the LP to Beefheart and he probably still has it'. Sonically cleaned and diigitally remastered
