CHARLIE TWEDDLE - Fantastic Greatest Hits 2LP

Deluxe all-analog reissue of the 1974 private press classic cut from the master tapes.

Includes bonus LP of recently unearthed home-recorded gems from the early 70s.

This would be fairly unremarkable private-press country-folk, except that ol' Charlie seems to have lost his mind at the mixing board. Abrupt edits, randomly deployed tape effects and a sidelong musique concrète piece elevate this to fever-dream levels of weirdness. Apparently he makes custom hats for people like Cher and Kate Hudson now, which makes about as much sense as anything else related to this record.

"Twisted back porch acid-folk blues with amazing lyrics... One of the major pieces in the Fringe of Everything genre." - Patrick Lundborg, The Acid Archives
