Here's an early side from the Banana Splits, with whom I had a love/hate relationship in grade school. So... dumb... yet, must... watch...

Thanks for that brain workout.; Thursday, February 12, 2009

bob said...: I remember the album from years gone by.
Looked for it sporadically in the last 30 moons or so and finally found a copy at Goodwill.

bob said...: Forgot to mention this shocking piece of trivia, but Barry White and Al Kooper contributed to the "We're The Banana Splits" platter.
The range of songs on it go from twee "Baroque pop" to some seven foot thick funky butt jams.
The hidden treasure track is "Soul".
Riiiiigggggt onnnnnnn!; Sunday, February 22, 2009
