One of the true ultimates in so-bad-it's-sublime listening. This collection culls the most interesting results of the famously bad recording careers of
's
and
, both of whom recorded albums in the late 1960s.
's seven cuts all stem from his notorious album
, which the liner notes here aptly describe as "a bewildering collision of
,
, and
, narrated over a strangely disconnected free-for-all."
, meanwhile, gets considerably more attention, owing to his having recorded five (!) albums of "musical" material -- mostly covers of
contemporary tunes. He turns in no genuinely good material, but his unsteady attempts at carrying a tune are worth more than a few laughs, whether in his struggles to keep the meter in
or his attempts to channel the "spirit" of
