[78-L] Sir Lancelot (was Burl Ives)

[David Lennick]

Here we go..Donkey City/Neighbor Neighbor is Keynote K-559, which must have 
been a single. Or were there other Sir Lancelot singles or a second album? The 
matrix numbers surrounding these 8 listed sides go up to KLP 12.

This references comes from Scarborough, the capital of the island of Tobago (which neighbors Trinidad), which was fought over during its history by the Dutch, French, and English. Holland controlled Tobago in the 1600s, resulting in part of Scarborough being called "Dutch Fort" or "Fort Holland."
