Description

The album is designed as a satire of language-learning records, where the secret language of the 'hipster' is treated as a foreign language. Part of the joke, however, is that it actually does a good job of describing the Beat Generation/Beatniksub-culture: Basic concepts such as "cool" and "uncool" are taught, as well as vocabulary building ("dig", "dig it", "dig yourself, baby", "dig the chick", "dig the cat", "What a drag!").

Many of the phrases and expressions survived to become elements of the counterculture vocabulary. Brian Wilson actually mentions album on Pet Sounds. Two splits on bottom of back gatefold. Overall Cover very nice shape. Booklet very much intake connected in gatefold. Catalog # OCM 2205
