Spinning Wheel-Mel and Dave

This is supposed to be one of the worst records ever made and can be found on many 'worst of' collections...I quite like it, especially the bits where everything drops out of time/tune...make your own mind up!

I'm Gay-Let My People Come




Back to sexuality and here comes this gem from the 'Let My People Come' theatre production of 1974. I guess it followed in the footsteps of 'Hair' and the like but was often condemned as pornographic, a view which creator Earl Wilson Jr strongly denies.
Whatever, the soundtrack was nominated for a Grammy and Earl is currently planning to update the show and get it out on the road once more...
Enjoy!
