Songs of Saigon (Cosmos Command edition)
An anonymous dittoed collection of 24 songs, put together about the same time as the Bowen collections with the same title. Thirteen of the songs are identical or nearly so, to songs in the Bowen collections; one is a variant. Lansdale included a copy of the "Cosmos Command edition" of Songs of Saigon in the documentation which he presented to the Library of Congress with the tapes of Songs by Americans in the Vietnam War . A copy was presented to Lydia Fish by Joe Baker, who served with Lansdale in Saigon.
In the narration which Lansdale wrote for these tapes he comments: "During the coups and political strife of the early 1960s, some CIA officers and their friends would meet at the Cosmos Bar, a little hole-in-the-wall place behind the American Embassy on Ham Nghi Street in Saigon. As relief from the strain of the day's events, they made up irreverent songs--and nicknamed themselves the Cosmos Tabernacle Choir."

Songs of Saigon
(Cosmos Command edition) An
anonymous dittoed collection of 24 songs, put together about the same time as
the Bowen collections with the same title. Thirteen of the songs are identical
or nearly so, to songs in the Bowen collections; one is a variant. Lansdale
included a copy of the "Cosmos Command edition" of
Songs of Saigon
in the documentation which he presented to the Library of Congress with the
tapes of
Songs by Americans in the Vietnam War
. A copy was presented to
Lydia Fish by Joe Baker, who served with Lansdale in Saigon. In
the narration which Lansdale wrote for these tapes he comments: "During
the coups and political strife of the early 1960s, some CIA officers and their
friends would meet at the Cosmos Bar, a little hole-in-the-wall place behind
the American Embassy on Ham Nghi Street in Saigon. As relief from the strain
of the day's events, they made up irreverent songs--and nicknamed themselves
the Cosmos Tabernacle Choir." [SONGS
