Description:

The first ever vinyl reissue of this (infamous) private press classic, championed by lovers of the weird'n'wonderful, including Jello Biafra. Active in LA's post-beatnik, pre-hippie scene, Robbie The Werewolf -a red haired and bearded folksinger with a fetish for monsters- was a manic performer, acting out his songs as much as singing them. His set consisted of both originals and unique reworkings of folk standards, played on a beat-up twelve-string guitar. This resulted in truly bizarre songs s.a. 'Count Dracula' (check out those proto-psychedelic effects!) or the insane 'Rockin' Werewolf'. The LP was recorded during a heady night at The Waleback in LA, in 1964. Robbie would later become a founding member of cult band Clear Light, but that's another story.
