This is a thread where I post an underrated classic album each day and you all check out the song I post and comment or whatever.
Lucia Pamela "Into Outer Space with Lucia Pamela (1969)"
Once called the missing link between Sun Ra and the Shaggs American singer/songwriter Lucia Pamela got into her car and headed to the moon to write and record her one and only album. It's debatable whether or not she was crazy, if she wasn't she certainly knew how to put on the act of the eccentric musician very well, she once complained about the air up on the moon where she supposedly recorded her album. The production is very lo-fi adding another level of strangeness to this already very weird pop album. It's very hard to explain this album, it's like if your crazy grandmother got drunk one Christmas and then proceeded to try and impress you with her made up stories and to add to the fun she's doing it almost Captain Beefheartish instruments behind her. It's a very weird concept that Wakeman and co. only wish they had the genius to write.
