Kids these days don't know nuffin'.
Kristofferson[^]
I have a feeling that that album has the highest number of huge hits of any debut album.
The only problem was that the huge hits were for other people, singing his songs.

I only recognise a couple of the tracks and can't remember who did them. Which were the "huge hits" of which you speak?

Me and Bobby McGee - Joplin (and a dozen or so others)
Help me Make it Through the Night - Gladys Knight & the Pips (and several others including Presley)
For the Good Times - Ray Price and about thirty others
Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down - Johnny Cash, Ray Stevens, etc.
But when Kristofferson released the album -- Of. His. Songs. -- I think it sold about three copies.

Great - that means my origina vinyl copy may be worth a few bob by now!

It might have been four copies, which would cut your price by 33 rpm per cent.

Ain't no double negative there. "Nothing" is indicative, not negative.

Naturellement, but that's not the case with Kristofferson. In most cases, his renditions were superior (particularly superior to the Cash travesty). It's just that people, in many cases, saw his versions as the copies.
