Cat Stevens - If You Want To Be Me, Be Me

I think I wrote about going to a Thanksgiving day annual Flea Market. Somebody had listed they would be bringing thousands of albums they apparently bought in a storage unit buy. This was probably 8 or 9 years ago. I had to drive an hour to this town and it was still dark out when I got there and I was not the first to be digging in these records. They were amazing. I ended up with about 140 lp's for a buck a piece and dumba$$ me did not bring more $...we are talking REM, Replacements, Joy Division, Zappa, Velvet Underground ..you get the picture. This weird bootleg was in the buy. You can tell by the sound that this song was recorded off the Harold & Maude movie as I believe this was never made commercially available until the 1980's. Probably one of Cat's most beloved 45's they missed an opportunity for chart action at the time. Also, this bootleg has it titled different than the If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out
