I can’t believe I’m seeing this! Years ago a friend put “Spiral City in a Martian Moon” on a tape for me, and another friend and I laughed for hours over it. it’s truly one of the most bizarre recordings of all times. Now I can actually put a face with the voice. I won’t hold out hopes for a recording somewhere of the song, but thanks so much for posting this. Maybe I’ll come across it in a thrift bin somewhere.

I have this LP! It was recorded in Vancouver, which is where I live and bought it. ‘Spiral City’ is a masterpiece, as is ‘Moon Cat’:
SPIRAL CITY
SPIRAL CITY
SPIRAL CITY IN A MARTIAN MOON
SPIRAL CITY IN A MOON COCOON
DON’T SAY GOODBYE
MARTIAN MOON
MOON CAT
MOON CAT
HAVE YOU EVER CAUGHT A MOUSE
ON THE MOON
One of my favorite records.
