Description

An Evening with Wild Man Fischer is a 1968 double LP album by Wild Man Fischer released on Frank Zappa’s Bizarre record label. The copyright is owned by the estate of Frank Zappa, but his widow Gail Zappa has chosen to not release it on CD, to the ire of the small but dedicated Wild Man Fischer fan club. This according to Wikipedia

This is a double LP vinyl record album on the Bizarre record label a division of Warner Bros Reprise numbered 6332.

I am the original owner of this LP and I can tell you that I have only played it 4 or 5 times and the quality of the records are near mint. The cover is better than the covers I have seen here on Ebay for this item. There is no ring wear. There is a slight defect (wrinkle?) on the cover above the “h” in With (See Photos).The inner sleeves are white (not the printed versions I have seen in other auctions) and they are not torn. They are the original sleeves to this record when I purchased it.

This is a rare find in this condition and an excellent addition to any Zappa, Bizarre, GTO’s collection.

On the inside of the cover is this description written by Frank Zappa

The material for this album was recorded live in the street (with Larry’s knowledge and consent) in front of the Whisky A Go Go and The Hamburger Hamlet on Sunset Strip, by Dick Kunc, on a Uher portable stereo tape recorder. The percussion effects were added later in Studio 2 at Sunset Sound by Art Tripp, engineered by Jerry Hansen. Larry’s unaccompanied songs were recorded at Sunset and in the basement of the Log Cabin. The monologues were recorded at Sunset. The Taster and Circle are accompanied by multiple over-dub tracks which I manufactured. Merry-Go-Round and Serrano Beach are accompanied by The Bizarre Percussion Ensemble. The Madness & Ecstasy of the second half of Side One was a spontaneous recitation (He was making it all up in the studio, believe it or not) by Mr. Kim Fowley and Mr. Rodney Bingenheimer, assisted in spots by the GTO’s (Girls Together Outrageously.) The Girl’s voice at the end of Side One belongs to Miss Johna, who was at one time Larry’s girl friend. The percussion was added later on another session.

Please listen to this album several times before you decide whether of not you like it or what Wild Man Fischer is all about. He has something to say to you, even though you might not want to hear it.

Please ask any questions before bidding.
