Thank you so much Sir Psych for for posting this request. I've seen this album on e-bay for $300 dollars!....I know it's hard to find too. We're 3000 miles apart but thanks to you , it's like this album is in my back yard,regards..John

my-T fine!!
the backwards-song is inspired; "the rest of my life" is so pure Beatles-y it's uncanny...
PS
had I not already purchased the SOFT SOUNDS series, i'd have blessed you for that also.

Now, that backwards song-- pretty obvious idea yet conceptual/experimental enough that i cant recall anyone else having done, at least back then: they listened to a tape backwards and MIMICKED the distorted backwards-vocals there, MORPHING the heard syllables toward the closest words, creating a 'found' surreal poem for the lyrics...keeping the bkwrds music as found for their accompaniment.

They were LIMITED to using words close in [highly subjective] sound to the bkwrds-heard 'found' sounds...thus a partial psychological 'rorschach' is created: each person will hear slightly different word-approximations in the 'back-words' [i may be inspired later to add a transcription of these lyrics]

They also keep true to the occasional bizarro shuffled-cards rushed phrasing backwrds tape of singing creates....

raymond roussel, anyone??

and good luck following all this if you are ...spanish, etc!

Hi, thank you this, nice album, just wonder why is written "various" by the download? It means they different bands?Doesn't seems like it.Would be good to know some informations about this album, thanks, regards, Gyula

MY MARY
[lyrics as I hear them, which are approximations of backwords on a tape JADE evidently made-heard]

I’M A SAILOR BOY
I MUST SAY WOMAN
MOTHER MARY WOULDJA?
I WOULD SEE MY WOMAN …SYMPATHY
NATURALLY I LOVE YOU YES I DO
I’M EXTREMELY LONELY TOO
EXTREMELY LONELY
HEAR ME WOMAN
THERE IS NOTHING I COULD EVER HAVE OR SEE
ON & ON WE SAIL…
OH MY MARY MORE THAN EVER
NATURALLY I LOVE YOU YES I DO
I MUST SAY WOMAN
I MUST SAY
GORGEOUS MARY PLEASE BE WELL

PS cut 2 'blue ways' fuckin rules too!

I AM GLAD YOU GUYS ENJOYED THIS LP AS MUCH AS I DO.AND GE, THE SONG MY MARY IS DONE EXACTLY LIKE YOU SAID, AT LEAST THAT IS THE WAY I ASSUMEMED IT WAS DONE. THE LYRICS ARE PRETTY MUCH WHAT I HEAR AS WELL. AS WILD AS IT IS, IT IS DEFINITLEY ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS ON THIS RECORD. MY FAVORITE CUT IS "BLUE WAYS" BY THE WAY.

AND GYULA, WHEN I UPLOADED THE LP AND TRANSFERED IT TO MY COMPUTER, IF THERE IS NO KNOWN INFO ON THE BAND, LIKE IF YOU UPLOADED A CD, SOMETIMES BAND INFO COMES UP AUTOMATICALLY. IN THE CASE OF UPLOADING AN LP, NO INFO COMES UP EXCEPT TRACK 1,2,ETC. OR VARIOUS ARTIST. USUALLY I WOULD EDIT THE VARIOUS ARTISTS OUT AND TRACK INFO, BUT IN THIS CASE I DIDN'T. THIS IS ONE BAND FROM THEIR ONE AND ONLY LP.

This one is great!

Thanks a lot!

and a final note re other famed uses of backwardness:
Bowie's Lodger that best cut MOVE ON uses "All the Young Dudes" played backwards; which was fun discovering w/ backplayed tape then

It's been 39 years since we did this in Cincinnati. The other 3 guys are still alive and well and I live in Nashville. Thanks for the honest yet great comments!

Hi Randy!
Congratulations to you and the mates in the group, you guys made something special for the "eternity" in the music-art... Now this lp costs a lotsa money if somebody owns it on the ebay....I wish you good health, and hope for you all, to make another nice album, all the bests, Gyula
Also best regards to Sir Psych.

An Original recording of a Lady GaGa Single was Found this morning with no traces of where it was found.
Some say that it was discovered in GaGa's Record Label's headquarters.
