Incredibly Strange Music, Volume 1

Very interesting book about a neglected side of the American Music Market… You will not believe the variety of different and exotic artists this book incorporates! ESSENCIAL READING IF YOU LIKE THE WEIRD & THE WONDERFUL AROUND THE WORLD!!!


“Incredibly Strange Music surveys the territory of neglected “garage sale” records (mostly from the ’50s-’70s), spotlighting genres, artists and one-of-a-kind gems that will delight and surprise. Genres examined include: “easy listening,” “exotica,” and “celebrity” (massive categories in themselves) as well as more recordings by (singing) cops and (polka playing) priests, undertakers, religious ventriloquists, astronauts, opera-singing parrots, beatnik and hippie records, and gospel by blind teenage girls with bouffant hairdos. Virtually every musical/lyrical boundary in the history of recorded sound has been breached; every sacred cow upturned.” quote from the RE/Search site
