’Nine To Five Disease’ / ’Where’s The Freedom’ (Trip Universal T-80) 2/1971

Moss Lynch | Nine To Five Disease | (Trip Universal) | I haven’t been able to find out anything about Moss Lynch other than the fact that the label Trip Universal was a Miami, Florida Company. So perhaps Moss Lynch hailed from this area.

Both sides of the disc have a vague country influence. It appears that Moss has a big problem working for the ’big boss man’. ’Nine To Five Disease’ is full of lyrics with hippie ideals . . . check out the opening lyrics to the song:

’Hey all you businessmen please
Don’t fill me with your disease.
Cool money, sure to please.
Sell your soul to the man
For a buck if you can’.

Well I guess this was 1971 but I’m sure Moss eventually sold his soul to the man. but there’s no harm in trying to ’stick it to the man’ . . .

The flip ’Where’s The Freedom’ again has Moss Lynch standing on his hippie soap box preaching to a seemingly uninterested congregation about the need to stop killing creatures, particularly birds and fish.
