Introspection IV from 1960 on the Warner Brothers record label. On vinyl.
Just stumbled across this earlier today.
How to describe this? I'm just going to steal a sentence or two from the album sleeve: "A study in the weird wanderings of the mind. Relationship of outre tales to modern music ...."
Short stories with music. Listening to the tone of the spoken word narration, I was reminded of the original, Little Shop of Horrors movie, which also came from 1960.
The sort of oddball recording that I love having in my collection. In fact, I found this in a bin marked, "Oddities." And according to the title, there's at least three more in the series to be found. Not sure that I want all of them but one certainly ups the coolness level of my collection.
