*per countryjoe: "Rag Baby Talking Issue No. 1 was the first recording of "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag." The original "Volume 1, Issue A, October 1965, Talking Issue Rag Baby" was a 7 1/2" x 10 1/2" manila envelope, with a picture of demonstrators in Berkeley stopping a train filled with troops heading to Vietnam, that contained tear sheets from Rag Baby Magazine with music for the four songs and a 7-inch 33 1/3 LP. View the whole package.
Side 1: "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag" and "Superbird" by Country Joe and The Fish (in its very first incarnation): Carl Shrager, Joe McDonald, Barry Melton, Bill Steele, and Mike Beardslee. Side 2: "Fire in the City" and "Johnny's Gone in the War" by Peter Krug, solo. The original pressing was 100 copies. There is a copy in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. We are asking $2500 for one of the few remaining complete packages.
There also remain a few vinyl discs, in a plain brown sleeve. Asking price is $100 for the disk and plain sleeve only.

*per psychedelicbabymag: "At the time you started your own magazine called 'Rag Baby'. Is there anything archived? How many volumes came out?
There were four print issues and one talking issue. They are not available, but I have a few copies of each.
You decided to press an EP under the name of your magazine - 'Rag Baby Records'. Four songs were featured; two by a group which included you, guitarist Barry Melton, singer Mike Beardslee, washboard player Carl Schrager and bassist Richard Saunders. And two songs by folk singer, Peter Krug.
Yes we did not have “copy” for the print issue of the magazine so I got the idea to make a talking issue with songs on it in an EP format, seven inch (33 and third rpm). We recorded it in living room of local record company. Owner was Chris Strawcwitz. ..."
