Oscar Brand - Oscar Brand X (1976) [Complete LP]

One Of Our Deleted Albums SeriesShow more

Folk singer Oscar Brand (1920-2016) released a series of Bawdy Songs albums in the 1940's and 1950's. He released Oscar Brand X in 1976 as a follow up his original Bawdy Songs series.

Oscar Brand X was released in 1976 on Roulette Records, catalogue number 9045-32060

The entire Bawdy Songs series and Oscar Brand X have been unavailable for decades. I have never seen any of them on CD.

The audio here was taken from a 1976 Canadian pressing of the original Roulette Records vinyl LP.
