“A Day in the Life of a Dinosaur” Starring Phil Foster as “Bronty” on Golden Records

During the 1950s Foster made several comedy short subjects as “Brookyn’s Ambassador to the World”. Because of his popularity he was chosen by George Pal to be one of the military space crewman on a trip to Mars in “The Conquest in Space”. It was Garry Marshall, an old friend whom he helped get started as a comedy writer for Joey Bishop and other entertainers, who lured him again to Hollywood, first to appear in “The Odd Couple” and then to co-star as Frank DeFazio in “Lavern and Shirley.” He also worked in film, notably “Bang the Drum Slowly.” He also recorded a handful of live stand-up comedy albums. — Wikepedia

Mind games

0c53_3.JPG

ACID TEST on Sound City Productions with Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters along with members of the Grateful Dead and others. Ultra rare original copy of drugged out noise experimental psych weirdness housed in paste-on cover with blank back.

From the Acid Archives: “Legendary documentation of the 1965-66 Bay Area Acid Test scene “from 14 hours of the actual trip” (recorded in a studio). Shows the other side of acid culture which is fun, unpredictable and avant garde as opposed to the Leary camp’s solemn religious/ psychological approach. Lots of amazing mind games and word play with Kesey and Ken Babbs in good form, ad libbed poetry, fractured harmonica solos, tape loops and the Grateful Dead lurking in the background. Released in March 1966, just as the Pranksters were splitting for Mexico.”
