Robert (Bobby) Callender "Le Musee de L'impressionnisme"

Label : Original early 70s Holland (only) pressing on Philips : 6318 043

1st (only) PRESSING - EXTREMELY RARE TRIPPED OUT PSYCH/SOUL ALBUM BY ROBERT CALLENDER (ALSO KNOWN AS BOBBY CALLENDER)
INCL ORIGINAL INSERT WITH LYRICS ETC.
Bobby/Robert Callender surfaced as an unthreatening pop product. As the ‘60s progressed and mutated, he barreled into psychedelic eccentricity. His hyper-literate lyrics must’ve been a struggle to fit into his wide range of musical idioms, but they always managed to work, albeit in a unique, initially unsettling fashion. After "Le Musee De L’Impressionnisme" was issued in Holland (in a doomed limited edition), Callender pretty much vanished.

Long considered lost (or at any rate, among the most difficult to find psych rarities of its time prior to the CD reissue, Le Musée de L’Impressionnisme was initially released in the early ‘70s (allegedly in 1972) on the Philips label as a small pressing exclusively in Holland, which might help explain Van Gogh’s inclusion. The record features lyrics sung in French and English, in fairly equal proportions. Musically speaking, the record is a sumptuous mélange of jazz, soul, progressive, and psychedelic rock.
