I can't tell you what a relief it's going to be just to have a president who has mastered basic subject-verb agreement. God, it's been like eight solid years of fingernails on a blackboard. So what better way to celebrate than with some vintage, stoned-out funk and soul? Even the staunchest Republican booty might start wigglin' before it's through, and we've still got a weekend or two to get wasted and dance before the second Great Depression hits and we're all selling kidneys.

Like always, set the gaps between tracks to 0 seconds and if you're burning from iTunes, use Sound Check to equalize volumes. Past ones are under the fold in one handy location. Also, Dick Smith's "Tobacco Road" didn't make the cut only because it's nine and a half minutes long and it was already hard enough getting this down to CD size, but it's pretty swank, too. Consider it the bonus track or something.
Conceptual continuity: one of the first three downloads of this was by somebody at Camp Lejeune. I lived in Jacksonville from '72 to '75, when most of this stuff was recorded.

Yes, but this has always been an area of shared agreement.
