This "Disconnection" from Canada would seem to have no connection (if you'll pardon the pun) with the Disconnection which recorded an LP on Prelude Records in the same year.
The A side of this record, "Little Lady" is a supremely kitch record with an infectious groove, featuring a gruff-voiced man trying to chat up a girl he was sitting next to on a coach or train. In this day and age he would have been arrested for harrassment!
The main line goes "Oh little lady... oh little lady... what is your name?" The "little lady" in question just giggles at his questions, until the very end when she says something like "My name is mellow and I'm tall as one!". I'd love to know what she actually says...
The B-side is mainly instrumental, and also well worth checking out.

Update to the review above:
The "little lady" in question just giggles at his questions, until the very end when she says "My name is Mary-Lou and I'm 12 years old". Surely in this day and age, this song would be banned!
