WILD MAN FISHER
An Evening With
...USA - BIZARRE - 6332 - white label promo
Wow! Preeetty rare 1968 advance-release WHITE LABEL PROMO\
Released in 1968, An Evening With... was Wild Man Fischer's vinyl debut. The embryonic gears of the album were set into motion as a previously obscure street singer named Larry Fischer began to gain notoriety in the mid-60s freak scene of Los Angeles. An unemployed former mental patient, Fischer would stand on sidewalks (usually he could be found on the Sunset Strip) and ask incredulous passersby if they would like to hear one of his "songs for sale" at the cost of a dime. Eventually he hooked up with Frank Zappa, hanging out with him and playing shows with the Mothers. Somewhere along the way, the decision was made to record an album, and An Evening With Wild Man Fischer was born.
Recorded "live on the street" and in the studio, the LP is catchy, frightening, hilarious, bizarre, and at times even moving. Melodies, bits of dialogue, street sounds, and monologues float through the listener's ears - as the album progresses, we learn about Larry, his life, his philosophy, and most importantly, his music.
Side one, "The Basic Fischer," introduces Larry to the listener through some studio recordings ("Merry-Go-Round" and the brief monologue "I'm Not Shy Anymore!") and "live" tracks of Wild Man in his element, hustling customers on the Sunset Strip. There is also an appearance by legendary LA scenesters Kim Fowley and Rodney Bingenheimer making "prophesies about the future of Wild Man Fischer" in the cut "The Madness & Ecstasy." Sides two and three contain Wild Man Fischer's songs, both accompanied and unaccompanied, as well as some "historical notes" and more street recordings. The final side, "In Conclusion," is mostly a monologue by Larry about his life and beliefs, along with the single "The Circle" and the final, harrowing cut "Larry Under Pressure."
The material for this album was recorded live in the street (with Larry's knowledge and consent) in front of the Whiskey a Go Go and The Hamburger Hamlet on Sunset Strip, by Dick Kunc, on a UHER portable stereo tape recorder. The percussion effects were added later in Studio 2 at Sunset Sound by Art Tripp, engineered by Jerry Hansen. Larry's unaccompanied songs were recorded at Sunset and in the basement of the Log Cabin. The monologues were recorded at Sunset. The Taster and Circle are accompanied by multiple over-dub tracks which I manufactured. Merry-Go-Round and Serrano Beach are accompanied by The Bizarre Percussion Ensemble. The Madness & Ecstasy of the second half of Side One was a spontaneous recitation (he was making it all up in the studio, believe it or not) by Mr. Kim Fowley and Mr. Rodney Bingenheimer, assisted in spots by the GTO'S (Girls Together Outrageously). The girl's voice at the end of side one belongs to Miss Johna, who was, at one time, Larry's girl friend. The percussion was added later on another session.
Frank Zappa advised at the time of release, 40 years ago: Please listen to this album several times before you decide whether or not you like it or what Wild Man Fischer is all about. He has something to say to you, even though you might not want to hear it.
