RE: [bomp] Coral Sitar

["kyle gedge" <euphonia71@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are we talking about "Pop Goes The Electric Sitar"?  I remember there being 
a version of "Eleanor Rigby" on there and the odd "standard."  There was 
some bumpf on the rear sleeve about the "miracle" that was the electric 
sitar.  I wasn't particularly impressed by the contents of the LP though.

I can have a look at the sleeve tonight if someone needs the info.
