Sad Eyed Radio of the Lowlands
(One-sided 1970 radio promo-only LP)
(Mirrosonic CS-7225)
Ultra rare Bob Dylan and Beatles-related collectible, issued in 1970 to promote the Sad Eyed Radio of the Lowlands syndicated FM radio show. Features interviews and snippets of songs by the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the Who, Bob Dylan and others, including probably the only legitimate appearance on vinyl of Dylan's infamous "East Orange, New Jersey" monologue.
According to Dylan expert Hans Seegers: This was a vinyl "prototype" demonstration for a proposed progressive radio show made by RBC Radio networks in 1970. This vinyl LP was made in order to find financiers for the show. The "idea" of the show was to create a kind of "collage" of sounds, music, experiences and the introduction features mixes of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, sound effects, The Rolling Stones' "20,000 Light Years From Home" , and a collage of The Beatles' "Let It Be" with the MC5's "Kick Out The Jams". This demo LP also features clips of songs by Joan Baez, The Who and The Band , interviews with Bill Graham and Alvin Lee, and a special short spotlight on Bob Dylan with the famous East Orange, New Jersey monologue (to my knowledge this has never been featured on a official record) and a 27 seconds excerpt of "Country Pie". Note also the nice title of the radio show as homage to Bob. The record label has the text "PILOT PROGRAM - NOT FOR BROADCAST".
Record is excellent to near mint. Comes in plain white cover.
