History:
Although L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was published more than forty years before the discovery of LSD, the story holds a natural allure for dabblers in psychedelic pharmacology. Both W. W. Denslow's original illustrations and the more familiar Technicolor film offer extensive fodder for slow stoned perusal. It should come as no surprise to find that two hip production companies undertook, in the late 1960s, to create musical versions of the story for the listening pleasure of flipped-out teenyboppers and collegiates. While internal evidence suggests that The Wizard of Oz and Other Trans Love Trips (Capitol ST 2776) and The Wozard of Iz: An Electronic Odyssey (A&M SP 4156) were realized almost simultaneously. the resulting albums are very different entities. The Capitol release, produced by Nick "Beach Boys" Venet and conducted by James E. Bond, Jr. (AKA The West Coast Workshop), is easy listening gone horribly awry. Familiar Harburg-Arlen compositions from the film are subjected to a sitar-drenched deconstruction, while original numbers like "Yellow Brick Trip," "The Dowser and the Thaumaturgist," and "Ode to Jackie, Dorothy and Alyce" (?!) caused this listener to scratch her head mightily, and marvel at the power granted to a mid-sixties house producer. It's all pretty delightful, in an annoying way, and the cool cover photo of a hippie Dorothy surrounded by soul brother versions Of the Oz gang is a pip.
Unfortunately, A&M wasn't willing to spring for a comparable photo shoot. and so The Wozard of Iz cover shows an ineffectual doodle of a rainbow-bedecked television surrounded by cherubim, the title barely visible against a black background. As a record consumer in the market for a Wizard of Oz-themed electronic suite, odds are you'd spring for the Capitol release. This time, though, the prettiest box doesn't hold the prize. Venet's vision pales beside that of Mort Garson and Jacques Wilson, the masterminds of The Wozard of Iz.
