From the back cover: Creed Taylor, who hosts this more-than-slightly-askew soirée, is a blithely imaginative young man. (You'll recall him as the creator, along with the composer Kenyon Hopkins, of an album entitled, with some understatement, SHOCK. It is available in both AC and DC, monophonic or stereophonic.) Mild and unassuming to the naked-eye, he has constructed here an album which, to the naked ear, may sound a trifle strange. It is not, however, merely a trifle strange.

From the back cover: One point first: if you think, upon first hearing it, that this album is simply a kind of Muzak for morticians, you may disqualify yourself right from the start. It's a free country.

  1. OMG you found a Creed Taylor? HOW AMAZING! I have been looking for both this and Shock. DeSoto has them both. I think Sal does as well.
