One side live, one side studio, unusual lounge LP by boozer guy backed by organ/guitar/drums trio named the Aggregation. Live side he does a drunken sleazy Dean Martin type of alcoholic act and studio side has eight tracks including a gushy organ "Up, Up And Away", a crude version of the Surfari's "Wipeout", "Goin' Out Of My Head", "Rang Dang Do", "Wildwood Flower" where band gets a hick sorta sound...fantastic cover pic of him in purple suit with adoring swinger looking women looking up at him on one side and fab snapshots on the back with funny captions like "Frankie really Getting It On!", "Frankie always enjoys getting close to his audience" etc. Autographed on back and issued on Cutty label in "Distilled Stereo-86 Proof" no number. VG+/VG+ cover wear and scuffs but plays fine and no doubt is impossible to find winner in the drunken lounge singer genre. From New Orleans, so guess any loose copies down there have probably been drowned. [PM]
Frankie has at least one other LP, another gentleman wino last hurrah titled 'Are There Any More Request-es?' [ed]
