U.S. BUYER PAY $ 5.00 MEDIA $ 6.00 PRIORITY . INTERNATIONAL BUYER PAY ACTUAL COST ( $ 14 - $ 15). The band called Twentieth Century Zoo hailed from the same Arizona desert land that spawned Phil and the Frantics, Kennelmus, and Alice Cooper's original band, the Spiders. This 'shroom fest includes their lone album for Vault, rare early singles (nice versions of "Tossin' and Turnin'" and the early version of "Love in Your Face"), and the requisite unissued demos, all recorded between 1966 to 1968. Another great psychedelic chunk of garage band gets trippy, reissued back from obscurity.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hailing from the same gila monster-infested Arizona desert wilderness that produced an unlikely harvest of fertile bands (Alice Cooper's Spiders, Kennelmus, Phil & The Frantics) the Twentieth Century Zoo were the paradigm of what was happening to music as 1966 blossomed into 1967-68. These Phoenix shroom-heads stirred the savage fuzzback-laced sounds of the garage generation into the brain-baking trippiness of the emerging SF ballroom scene and made a concoction all their own. Includes the entire scarce Vault-label album, obscenely rare early single sides and unissued cuts . RECORD LOOKS NEW . COVER HAS MINOR RING WEAR, SOME EDGE WEAR BUT NO SPLIT SEAMS, BACK HAS PRICE STICKER RESIDUE, AND MINOR DIS-COLOR ON WHITE. SUMMARY VERY GOOD MINUS COVER
NOTE THIS IS THE ORGINAL PRESSING OF THE BANDS 1ST ALBUM NOT THE SUNDAZES 1999 REISSUE
