Storm Records LSP 2702, stereo; produced by Jjeld Music, 2702 E. Wellesley, Spokane, Wash.; public performance clearance BMI; manufactured by Rite Record Productions, Inc. The front cover is a colour portrait of a helmeted paratrooper in camouflage with the 173d Airborne shoulder patch, and credits "Ballad of the 173d Airborne Brigade" written by SSG James R. Raney and "Ol' Lead Bottom" written by PFC William R. Raney USMC, "Sung by Ed Raney"; the back shows a parachutist under an open canopy. The sleeve notes say the songs were written in part by Staff Sergeant James R. Raney, pictured on the cover, with his older brother Ed (honourably discharged from the U.S. Air Force) and younger brother Bill (serving in the U.S. Marine Corps) also contributing, and that they give "an honest look at our fighting men in Vietnam". They describe "The Jump" as a factual narration of the first combat jump of the Vietnam conflict, "Prayer for Dust Off" as a thank-you to the helicopter crews, and "Trooper's Green" as an imaginary place where all 173d troopers go when they die, and close by noting that James R. Raney was on his way back to Vietnam for his third tour, "All three times he volunteered to go." Side 1: Ballad of the 173d, Prayer for Dust Off, Johnson's Gone to Hell, The Trooper's Green, Bugles at Twilight, Great Jumpmaster in the Sky; Side 2: The Jump, The Immortal Sgt. Hanks, Corporal Barnes, Ol' Lead Bottom, Brother, Oh Dear Brother. [From the record sleeve and labels]
