Editorial Reviews

Boston folkie Jaime Brockett became an underground radio sensation with his epic ballad Legend of the U.S.S. Titanic, which updated the old Leadbelly song about how black prizefighter Jack Johnson had been denied passage on the Titanic because of his race to offer an, er, alternative explanation as to why the ocean liner sank (the captain and first mate were high from smoking hemp rope)! Definitely a countercultural classic.

It was midnight on the sea

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2022

I have been trying to get a copy of this album for a couple of decades. It went out of print due to racial references in the song “The Legend of the U.S.S. Titanic”. If you are black,Jewish or Italian and are easily offended then you may want to steer away from this collection. It was offered up up in a humorous way and was mild compared to some of the standup comedy of its day. I.e. Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Buddy Hackett and others. Another classic is about the day “the Ballad of the Green Berets” is featured on Rate-A-Record on American Bandstand. Got a good beat,easy to march to.
This includes another full length album from Jaime Brockett.
In addition I caution you to understand Jaime Brockett was more of a folk singer and songwriter than he was a funny man. He was a very lyrical and thoughtful musician and much of his music is expressive and softly realized. In other words don’t expect any rock and roll vibes.
My biggest fear is that this album would be low quality. Instead it very clean, no pops, hiss or other defects. As far as I know this may the first time this album is available on cd.

Five Stars Just for "Titanic"

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2010

"Legend of the USS Titanic" is a hoot. A thirteen-minute hoot. I used to hear it on the Georgia Tech station, WREK, back in the early 1970s. (It wasn't till 1985 that my girlfriend mentioned that she had brought the LP they played it from to the station from Chicago.) Sadly, they were no longer playing it, when last i was listening to WREK - i asked someone at the station about it and he said they'd had complaints from a Jewish organisation about the lines about "...a bunch of Jewish people from Miami - they're jumpin' up and down and tradin' wives and Cadillacs..."

Well, i suppose that if you want to be offended by something, that could be a fairly offensive line.

Aside from that, the song (a talking blues, really) is absolutely hilarious. It's actually a comedic expansion of a Leadbelly song, which you can find on YouTube, and tells the story of what *really* happened to the RMS Titanic. Sort of. (I have to say i find it more plausible than the recent "explanation" offered by a descendant of one of the Titanic's officers...) It's quite long, and reveals how the presence of a pot-smoking First Mate ("...he's rollin' himself a smoke, he's diggin' the icebergs...") triggered a series of events. It also talks somewhat about Jack Johnson, the black fighter, who, popular {apocryphal} legend asserts, was denied passage on the Titanic's voyage.

Incidentally, Brockett, as a member of the Titanic Historical Association was the owner of a large collection of Titanic memorabilia, and keen to stress that the tale he spun in "The Legend of the U.S.S. Titanic" had no basis in actual historical fact.

The songs on this album are pretty much a classic product of the 1960s, with drug references and Nixon/Agnew-baiting ("Talkin' Green Beret New Super Yellow Hydraulic Banana Teeny Bopper Blues"), and some very pretty acoustic guitar. (And mountain dulcimer on "St. Botolph Street Grey Morning Dulcimer Thing".)

Worth the money just for "Titanic".

AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!

This is just a flatout CLASSIC! While the rest of "Remember The Wind & The Rain" and "2" are great, "The Legend of the USS Titanic" is the reason to get this CD set. It is one of the funniest songs I have ever heard, and I'm in my late 60's. It is 13 minutes of absolute hilarity! It is just fantastic...

The past comes back!

When I was about 11 yrs old, my big sister dated a guy who was a friend of Jaimes'. He gave me a (vinyl) copy of this album at that time, and over the next 40 years it held a place in my colletion.
Finding it on CD was a bonus! All the songs still hold up as well as they did back then. "Bag on the table" is still just as depressing, (I believe it was meant to be), "Talkin Green Beret, etc" is still an anti-war anthem, and the notorious "Legend of the U.S.S. Titanic" is still funny as hell! Well worth replacing my scratchy old vinyl and the sound quality is superb!

A CD no 60's/70's era hip music fan should be without!

Finally released(snatch it up while it's here!)Jamie dishes out some great folk fun with Legend of the USS Titanic and Talkin' Green Beret New Super Yellow Hydraulic Banana Teeny Bopper Blue. Oft overlooked but never forgotten by the faithful we now get to bask in the full glory of this LP on a clean, well transfered CD release. A must have in any self respecting collectors CD bin! Any fan of Alice's Restaurant should also posess this rare gem, mark my words it'll be gone and out of print so grab it while it's here.

I have been looking , off and on, for this album for 40 yrs. and had no idea it could still be found. I started with a Google search, which led me to Amazon. At Amazon I find it's available as a CD- in England. A week later it's at my door.

I searched for a copy of this album for twentyfive years originally turned onto it,about 1978 contacted any and everyone I could to find a copy especially after all the time and effort just to find it.Good fun lots of memories,I am friends with a DJ at one of our local radio stations near me and it took him three days to acquire it after I had dropped it of at the station.
Some remember it some don't but ALLL have enjoyed,time travel.1969 is alive and well,never to be forgotten(did I have a good time)I heard I Did.
