COMMENTS : Ultra Rare original pressing of Acid UFO Alien inspired outsider folk with wild lyrics..B side is mostly crickets and other sounds/noises of nature.This is as Real People as you get!..File under Incredibly Strange Music or Acid Damaged folk, or ....Beautiful Psychedelic cover art, gatefold cover. Here is a Review from the Acid Archives Site " Incredibly strange (true, for once) real people artifact from a Bay Area guy who claims to be "king of the flying saucer people". Moves in a Grudzien/Skip Spence direction but without their big city vibes, more like if one of those inbred hillbilly degenerates in "Deliverance" made an LP, complete with pig oinks. First side is twisted backporch acid folkblues with amazing lyrics, side 2 is mostly the sound of crickets, water and nightbirds with fragments of music here and there, like if the tripper wandered off into the woods. It's hard to determine the angle Tweddle is coming from as the music is obviously retro yet has an undeniable authenticity to it. The "Alien Invaders" track rivals Grudzien for surreal mountain music, and the "sounds of nature" side sucks you into a forgotten movie inside your mind. One of the major pieces in the Fringe Of Everything genre, and a great foldout sleeve too. One of the most-discussed, bent-mysterious homemade recordings of the era- a legend to some, a casualty to other.
NM- with a few miniscule marks on the cover
