Great song! You gotta love any song that has "Commies" somewhere in the lyrics. For those interested here's a bit more information about Tropical records and a discography..I love the name of the owner- Bob Quimby - it almost sounds like it was made up. http://www.songpoemmusic.com/labels/tropical.htm
Just a little mrore that I found poking about, from Lee Hazen who played in the studio groups at Tropical. He mentioned they typically did 15 sides in an afternoon and the pay scale "got $2 per part I played and $2.50 per song I sang, so if I sang lead AND background, I could make up to $9 a song !" He mentions that Greg Allman and a friend made a recording "Gregg Allman with Bob Edwards - Just call my name" which was done at the National Songwriter's Guild in Ormond Beach. He thought it was his first recording. I'm not sure whether it was ever released.
