Description
Peter Wyngarde - From Wikipedia: In 1970, Wyngarde recorded an album released by RCA Victor as an LP entitled Peter Wyngarde. This is a collection of spoken-word tracks to music by Vic Smith, with words by Wyngarde, produced and arranged by Hubert Thomas Valverde. The LP was billed as addressing "the darker side of human behaviour". The album was withdrawn from sale after four days. Wyngarde commented "When RCA came up with an offer, they told me I could do whatever I liked – that's what really appealed to me. I saw the record as an entertainment in its own right; to be enjoyed tongue-in-cheek... we wanted to do something new." He also suggested that RCA was "mired in a scenario similar to The Producers", as it had wanted his album to be a tax loss and was shocked by its success. In 1998, the album was reissued on CD by RPM Records, re-titled When Sex Leers Its Inquisitive Head. The album is now treated as a curiosity because of its unusual spoken-word style and the controversial subject matter.
Sleeve- VERY GOOD + The cover has some light wear, slight bruised corners. No ring wear. Media- VERY GOOD - Will play with fidelity, but background noise will be present. There is a scratch you can see & feel on song 1 / side 2 (see picture), and while it does NOT skip in place - the record plays through without skipping - you do hear a tic on that song.
