Description

From the Acid Archives:

Sometime around 1978 Palmer Rockey arrived in Dallas high society out of Los Angeles, presenting himself as a "movie producer" and looking the part too in his fur and slicked-back hair. He spent his time rubbing elbows with wealthy Dallas housewives trying to get money to fund a new film project he was working on. Every time he raised some cash he shot footage, and reported on the progress to his financiers to keep them happy. The whole process took over three years and only rarely would the same actor come back to work for the demented Mr Rockey, so the film actually has different actors playing the same role (much like "Plan 9"). Some of the film is in black & white while other parts are in color, again a result of sporadic fund raising. When the film was finally complete Palmer booked a local movie theater and had a "premiere". He managed to get both of the local papers to write big articles about this "local film" and apparently had a fairly good crowd for the showing. As the movie ended and the critics and sponsors exited the theater in disbelief at what a poor film they had just watched, Palmer was overheard telling one of his "moneymen" that the Mafia was after him and he would have to leave town immediately. No one saw Palmer in Dallas again after that night and he apparently left owing a bunch of people money. 

This record sounds exactly like that story. It's got a mindblowingly sleazy, low-rent lounge feel with inappropriately Satanic lyrics cropping up every now and then. This is one of the few well-known outsider releases to consistently evade reissue. This is the 1980 pressing (PR-2-LP). The sleeve is in VG+ with no real wear. The vinyl is in VG, with some wear and one scratch that may affect play (it didn't on my player, but it may on yours). Still, this is a classic in the outsider field and you owe it to yourself to check this one out.
