Footscray Technical College “There’s An Elf In My Pocket” Australia 1972 Private Psych Folk Rock

This was recorded in 1972 by students from the Footscray Technical College in Melbourne, Australia for a drama production entitled ‘There’s an Elf in My Pocket’. Released in an edition of 100.

Those Footscray Tech kids created a few heart-achingly beautiful folk songs for their 'Elf-In-My-Pocket' show... The title track is particularly haunting (although I suppose that depends on if 'There's an Elf in My Pocket' is some obscure early-seventies-cultural reference or a puerile 'dick' joke--I'm going with the former). They also recorded a few 'rock' songs here, too, and while they're far from bad, they don't reach the same heights as the acoustic tracks.........by..jelbogen ....
