captain_slinkyListening to one of my many, MANY eclectic albums from my eclectic album collection today called "DO IT NOW!" I can't find a date on it anywhere, but based on the artwork and the artists involved I'm placing it at right around 1969 or 1970. One of the infamous "Ronco" compilation albums, it's "20 GREAT HITS FROM ARTISTS WHO CARE!" Artists like The Beatles! Janis Joplin! Jimmi Hendrix! Jefferson Airplane! And MANY MORE!
The thing that makes me love this album so very much is the "Pledge" found on the back of the album which explains that each and every artist featured on this album is truly dedicated to helping kids resist illegal drugs, and that they've all signed individual pledges to never, EVER take any illegal narcotics of any kind because that would be just wrong and the highest you'll ever get is when you're High on Life, maaaaaan.
All the music on this album is awesome. i can only guess as to how trippy this stuff would have been if the artists HAD been "Popping Doobies", "Shooting-out Goofballs" or any of the other slang terms the kids use for illegal drugs?
