V/A- Welcome To The Beat Generation LP.  A pretty impressive collection of Beatnik Rock'n'Roll nuggets from the '50s & '60s. All the rock ‘n roll bases are covered hear including a hand full of rock & roll gems, some freeform garage sounds, beatnik poetry, a dash of swanky-jazz and a whole lotta wacky weirdness. A few familiar tracks plus lots of really hard-to-find stuff compiled into a set of obsucurites from the Beat Generation! Absolutely staggering array of sounds including Herman Munster kicking things off reading "Beat" poetry to Lord Buckley providing the voice of "Go Man Van Go" as The Wild Man of Wildsville and lots and lots of warped wierdness in between. These are incredibly hard to find in general and we got the LIMITED VERSION ON BLUE WAX. 1 per order on these.
