JR Rockin Rivers - Rare Canadian album

Released in January, 1974 on U/A in Canada titled "Rockin' Rivers".

It contains tracks not on any other JR's album such as his self-written "It's All Been Said", Michael Georgiades "Easily Madrid", Mose Allison's "Take It Easy", John Fogerty's "Night Ride", Chuck Berry's "Bye Bye Johnny", and a great country tune called "Grand Old Opry". There's a moving rocker called "It Came Out of the Sky" and the ballad "Don't Go to Strangers". The album was produced by Johnny and contains great tracks, ten in all.

My dear friend José Henrique, from Brazil, also sent me the following infos about this album:

• There were 3 editions of "Rockin' Rivers": Canada, France and Germany;
• It was one of the latest Johnny's albums released by U.A.;
• There is also a PS/45 compact made in Spain (picture below) produced with the same sleeve as this one. The songs are: "Bye Bye Johnny b/w Parchman Farm" (nº 13977 UA). It's a very rare stuff.
