a cappella

Twenty years ago I made a lot of tapes to play in the car. When I was reminded of their existence a couple of weeks ago, I hadn’t heard most of these tapes since that first car died in 1989.

Curiously, among these tapes is one that I’m sure I had not heard before; I certainly did not record it. It sounds like the Bobs (rather than e.g. the Nylons, another group who cover pop songs a cappella) singing Happy Together, In My Room, Duke of Earl, Green Fields, Moondance, Papa was a Rolling Stone, I Wish, Hurdy Gurdy Man, Till Then, as well as something about Martians on Earth disguised as monks to the tune of Also Sprach Zarathustra and a tedious bit of glurge about the collapse of Stalin’s empire.

Does anyone recognize such an album?
