Wild Man Fischer was a real person who lived in Hollywood, California. He used to be very shy. He didn't have any friends. One day he decided to be more aggressive. He would write his own songs and sing to people and tell them he wasn't shy anymore. When he did this, everyone thought he was crazy. His mother had him committed to a mental institution twice. Sudden notoriety for Larry Fischer came in 1967 and 1968. He appeared at talent shows in clubs like the Troubadour and the Red Velvet. He met Phil Spector and tried unsuccessfully to get the producer to agree to furnish him with a "Wall of Sound." It was around this time that Fischer opened up for Iron Butterfly at the Whisky a Go Go and for Bo Diddley at the Experience. His steady gig was to stand on the streets of Hollywood and sing his original songs for spare change. The turning point came when Frank Zappa noticed him in performance both on-stage and outside on the Sunset Strip. Soon Fischer was appearing with The Mothers of Invention, and in 1968 Zappa produced this double LP. Personal and cashier's checks, money orders, cash, and Paypal are acceptable forms of payment. The seller goes to the post office after auction is over to determine s&h amounts, depending on weight and destination, and an insurance amount, if desired.
