A few quick notes: 

Andrew Gold's four Elektra records are solid, but I think you could make one unforgettable classic with 3 or 4 songs from each. "Oh Urania" would be on it, which always reminded me of a great Eric Stewart/10cc track

When I saw Corey Glover a few weeks ago, he did a fine cover of this Bobby Womack tune.

"A Woofer In Tweeter's Clothing" never grew on me the way so many other Sparks albums did, but I love this track.

 I'm pretty sure I hadn't heard "Driver's Seat" since 1979, when WNEW-FM were under contract to play it 18 times a day. Sounds pretty good after laying off of it for 45 years.

Enjoy the zip.
