chords of fame

Chords Of Fame was a 2-LP compilation of folksinger Phil Ochs' career, compiled by his brother shortly after Ochs' death in 1976. Released on A&M Records, it compiled tracks Ochs had recorded for both that label and Elektra Records. The compilation included rarities, these being an acoustic version of the song "Crucifixion" taped at the show that had produced Gunfight At Carnegie Hall, the electric single version of "I Ain't Marching Anymore" and the non-album B-side "Here's to the State of Richard Nixon", a re-write of the old chestnut "Here's to the State of Mississippi". As with many compilations, favortism abounds on the album. Seven tracks from the third album and five from the first appear, while only one each was offered from the second and fifth. The others are given between two and three apiece. Possibly because of this, the compilation was allowed to go out-of-print. With the exception of the 1997 box set, never again would Elektra material be released on A&M, or vice versa.
