This is one of the rarest beatnik and monster-related lps. It was featured in the book “Incredibly Strange Music” (which is a guidepost to any collection like this). This is a small press, local record of a beat poet reciting in full werewolf get up at club in California in the early sixties.

Sing for God and Country “The Singing Midget” Lowell Mason and the Crusaders Crusade Records
There are a bunch of Lowell Mason “singing midget” lps out there. There were other little singers putting records out but he was the biggest.

Crying Demons Crying Demons Crying Demons A. A. Allen Miracle Revival Records
This is just amazing. Was on my want list for a long time. This is the quintessential over-the-top, tent revival preacher, miracle worker put on. The record is by AA Allen who made many of these bible belt recordings with the “actual sounds” of exorcism and healing. This one is from the fifties and came in a neat blood red vinyl. The guy on the cover is laughable and goofy. Others in this genre can get pretty ugly. I’ll show you some in the future.

Mr. Bat Sings (w/ Mrs. L. E. Tweten, accompanist)
This is one of the weirdest private press lps. The cover is amazing and has nothing to do with the generic xian music within. Clowns are creepy sometimes, but this is John Wayne Gacey scarey.

Philosophy of the World The Shaggs Third World Records
Here’s perhaps the most celebrated outsider record and a true musical discovery. A self-produced, family band from the 1960’s. Susan Orleans wrote about the group in a New Yorker piece and the lp was reissued sometime in the early nineties. Original copies are rare and sell for $1,000 and up. I think only 1,000 were pressed with most thrown out in a dumpster in Boston.
