Those Were The Days
:: Oh Babe, What Would You Say ::
:: I Remember it Well ::
:: Medley 2 ::
:: Two Sleepy People ::
This record was a pleasant surprise when I found it recently at the monthly swap meet in Pasadena. I’ve come across the two All in the Family albums a few times - the ones that are collections of funny moments from the show. And I picked up Carroll O’Connor’s LP, Remembering You, awhile back. But I hadn’t known that this one existed, released in 1973 with both O’Connor & Jean Stapleton singing 24 songs together in their Archie and Edith Bunker characters. There’s a lot of banter and wisecracks between the songs, and Stapleton never gets as shrill as she did in the TV show’s opening song, “Those Were the Days,” which is probably a good thing. Youse guys might be interested in checking out their version of The Beatles’ “When I’m 64,” which is contained in “Medley 2.”

Hi Phil,
O'Connor has at least one more LP, called "Carroll O'Conor Sings for Old P.F.A.R.T.S. (People Favoring A Return To Sentiment.)" I didn't know about the one you found, however!
