After picking and falling in love with his first two Reprise albums and their wild blend of twenties and thirties schlagers, psych and rock'n'roll I've always checked the bins for more, but his stuff almost never shows up in this part of the woods. Now at last I've found one and that turned out to be a real oddball. As the story goes the songs here are from a then previously unreleased recording he made 1962 that was considered too bad to get out at first. But after the public and critical success of his debute "God Bless Tiny Tim" https://monolover.blogspot.com/2013/09/tiny-timgod-bless-tiny-tim-rslp-6292-68.html the small Bouquet label got their hands on those tapes, added public noise to mimic a concert and released them. They were sued and had to cancel, but the damage was already done and it has been said that this issue was a big harm to his carreer. So when his second, to my taste beautiful, album was released a couple of months later many buyers avoided it https://monolover.blogspot.com/2021/04/tiny-timtiny-tims-2nd-album-rs-6223-69.html . With all that in mind - how does this sound? A then fairly unexperienced Tim first supported by rather flat arrangements, then suffering from tons of reverb and all the way by added public noise, including laughing and whistling. So not good listening at all. But for me still a keeper since I'm trying to find more of his legit recordings and when (if?) I do this will be a must in the Tiny Tim collection as it was his first recording. (YZÄ*)
