I have a 10" of "The Sound of Fury", and it is really a
terrific record. 
  It holds up extremely well even now.  Great songs, great singing and 
arrangements and even recorded well.  You can find them on Ebay now and 
then.  There was a reissue as well.

On his radio show, Joe "A Picture of You" Brown praised this record to 
the heavens, which got me to pick up the copy that I won.  Joe of course 
played and sang so wonderfully at the Tribute to George.
