Templeton Twins [1969] Trill It Like It Was

OK...this is genius and when I describe it you will groan and think it has to be horrible, but it's great and a keeper for me and no other LP is like it, too. As you may know in the late '60s there was a trippy flashback to the roaring '20s/music hall scene by rock bands (Beatles-When I'm 64, H.P. Lovecraft-Time Machine, to name a couple) WELL this LP on the SF Vault label # 134 is digging in that time machine and what you get is '60s hits done in a wiggy way like they were old 78 RPM discs and the VOCALS are AWESOME...not only are they funny flashbacks, they are also deliciously listenable. This experiment is a resounding success. "Light My Fire" (Doors), "MacArthur Park" (Richard Harris), "Something" (Beatles), "Yesterday" (Beatles again), "Hey Jude" (Beatles again again), "Everybody's Talkin'" (Fred Neil), "Spinning Wheel" (BS&T) and others, even an original called "Ooh, Ooh, Guru". The overall effect is surreal and I bet this would really make the wallpaper patterns weave backwards in time on acid! Full title is The Templeton Twins-Trill It Like It Was with Teddy Turner's Bunsen Burners. For this esoteric angle this is the pinnacle! [PM]
