Emitt Rhodes: Mirror (Dunhill)
Harold Bronson, UCLA Daily Bruin, 4 November 1971
FEBRUARY 9th was the day of the famous Los Angeles earthquake. After it was over, the damage totaled $300 million. For me the loss was not so great: one stack of 45 rpm records toppled over. As I proceeded to put them away, I noticed among them a song called Listen Listen by the Merry-Go-Round.
