Ohhhhhh, I never realized we had a Wild Man Fischer thread and I never bothered to look it up. Great thread bump, crazed!
I've always wanted to listen to his later albums to see if they portray him in a more positive light, but at the very least the debut is an interesting documentary of an interesting man. A shame the Zappa estate has let the album fall out of print...I guess there was bad blood between the Zappa family and Fischer so it's not surprising but still a shame. He definitely doesn't come off as an outsider music genius or anything to me but the album is very different and well put together, and that alone makes it worth a listen every now and again. I'd love to find a copy while record digging, but fat chance of that ever happening!
