Description
- The Victims of Chance - Victims of Chance LP [1968] on the highly collectible Crestview label, Produced by Johnny Kitchen. -CRS 3052 Lounge psych freakout with brass featuring Johnny Kitchen.
Here is something likely to appeal to die-hard, fans of the 60s, American psych/rock format and break collectors alike.
Very rare quality psych-sploitation LP (think Animated Egg, T Swift & The Electric Bag) from the US featuring all types of tripped out mayhem and sampler friendly treats. There's several funky cuts on here, a very strong laidback vocal cut, the very tongue-in-cheek 'Funky Sunshine' (recorded very quietly on the album) plus all manner of tripped out guitar noises, mad delay, borrowed sounds, weird spoken word, snippets of cartoons and more.
Johnny Kitchen, whose name may seem terribly arcane to the casual music fan but is well-known among '60s collectors despite the fact that his identity remains a complete enigma. What is known about Kitchen is that he was something of a poor-man's Kim Fowley. He had a hand in literally dozens of crazed and experimental underground records in America during the latter years of the decade. Ending up in Los Angeles in late 1968 or early 1969, he began making records on the Crestview label beginning with the self-titled Victims of Chance debut. He was also involved that year with the bizarre first album from certified schizophrenic and acid freakazoid Larry 'Wild Man' Fischer, Evening with Wild Man Fischer, which was released on Frank Zappa's Bizarre label.
Outer sleeve is quite rubbed though not splitting as most of these American, 60s, paper and card sleeves are. Vinyl has a few light but entirely superficial handling marks but still grades as excellent.
