Outside of the Merry Pranksters, Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg were perhaps THE bridge between the Beat Generation and the freaks, hippies and yippies that followed. From 1964, they created a kind of mutant, prankster folk that still sounds really fucking weird to this day. Absurdist poetry, puerile 4am stoner singalongs, Appalachian harmonies, detuned surf rock, pre-Velvets one-note jams, kooky cross-rhythms and sound effects: this record has the capacity to fry your brain if you give it the chance; how wild it sounded in 1965 absolutely beggars belief.
