The starting and ending parts of "Custer's Last Stand" are from the Irish song "Garry Owen" (which you'll see spelled many different ways). The middle of this piece, starting at about 00:49, is actually "Rakes of Kildare," another traditional Irish song. I think there's still another piece after that, but I don't know what it is. Then, "Custer's Last Stand" switches back to "Garry Owen" again.
The track "A Fifth Of Beethoven" was not done by Apollo 100; it was actually done by Walter Murphy. That might be why you haven't been able to find it. It's on the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtack, though. (Interesting side note; Walter Murphy now does the music for "Family Guy", of all things! ^_^)

@ARK99999 "Gary Owen" was the name of a 19th century tavern just outside West Point, and that tune is a favorite of the US cavalry.

Hi, I'm Joseph, from Portland, OR and I was wondering if you might have a copy of "A fifth of Beethoven", by this fabulous group from my yesteryear.
We just loved it and I can't find it anywhere, and I have looked.
I believe it was issued in the winter of 1971/spring of 1972.
If You could help me, I would be 'So in your debt.
Thanks,Joseph
