“Awesome down home Southern Fried Acid Folky Blues stoner vibe rarity, ‘She Pawned Her Diamond for some Gold’ tells the story of the girl who smoked her last bowl, and penniless needed s’more, so she… Killer. Really scarce LP and brings a $100 in circles, dig??? I thought you did.” — description of Vanguard album being auctioned off on ebay.
A collector’s item, this is the record that created a cult following all over the world. Never officially released in digital, somehow it’s all over the internet, and if you can find it, you can probably download it for free. Apparently, “we don’t need no stinkin’ releases.”
Rumor has it that Vanguard is seriously considering re-issuing this baby in vinyl. Stay tuned.
Sample: Judas Iscariot.
Here’s how Bob looked when he played this song at the Arkansas Folk Festival in 1973. You can’t see his feet in this photo. Too bad, cause he’s not wearing any shoes. The original barefoot hippie, he threw away his shoes in 1969, and never got another pair til sometime in the ’70′s.
I bought the original BobFrank album back in the 70′s…..LOVED every song on it…sadly I don’t have it any longer, it went the way of 8 tracks and old 45′s……
I had this record a long time ago.
And it was often heard.
It will be digital at UK AMAZON in 2008. Although the copy was sold, it was sold out in the twinkling of an eye, and bought and missed.
It is a wish!!
MR.BOB Please sell to me.
Although searched from that, it does not sell anywhere.
I was turned on to this album when it came out. I played it until I couldn’t play it anymore. Got lucky, found two more copies at a music store going out of business. I only played it to make cassettes or now CDs.
