Here are the liner notes for the recent Sundazed reissue:


"A true 'renaissance man,' Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth excelled in a number of pursuits. Artist, cartoonist, car-customizer and pinstriper were but a few of his specialties. Growing up in California, surrounded by the surf and hot rod movements of the late '50s, Roth's expansive imagination was set in motion and popular culture would never be the same.
Working closely with Ed Roth, who assumed the nom du disc 'Mr. Gasser,' Fred Rice carefully selected vocalists and musicians for the recording session. Gary Usher assembled and led the vocal talent, which included Jackie 'Robyn' Ward, Chuck Girard, Richard Burns and Darlene Love. And how's this for a guitar line-up: Glen Campbell, Jerry Cole and Howard Roberts! On drums you've the great Hal Blaine. Meanwhile, Cliff Hils anchored the bass position and Leon Russell played piano while Steve Douglas wailed on sax. What a fabulous group of 'Weirdos'! The combination of A-list players and a top-notch studio produced a superior-sounding LP, every bit the sonic equal of contemporary recordings from stars like the Super Stocks and the Beach Boys."
Record is in G+ to VG- condition. Labels are nice, vinyl has high gloss. Just lots of light scuffs. Plays nicely. The jacket is in G+ condition. It has a seam splitting on two sides. Some wear, and a sticker and writing on the back. Note: jacket indicates ST-2010, but the record is mono (T-2010).
