The album I have, is not the one I bought. Here is what happened:
After I bought it, and had it for a couple of years, I loaned it to a friend, who then set it on top of a radiator, and ruined it.
We went to a record store to replace it, could not find it. Some years went by and I never forgot that album. Periodically I looked for it, but never found it.
I then read about a place in Van Nuys (or Canoga Park?), that had hard to get albums. Called him up and he had it. Drove up there, bought the album and started talking to him.
He also had the original "Sun Session" records of Elvis. He would not sell it to me but recorded it and put it on cassette (yeah it was that long ago). He also sold me another LJB album.
I felt I has scored!
Maybe three months later, I'm reading an article about a federal bust in Van Nuys. Turns out it was this guy and he was busted for not paying royalties on recordings of albums that he was putting onto cassettes. They also confiscated his collection, which literally must have been over a thousand albums
That is the 'It Ain't Easy' album I still have.
