For those of you too young to remember, Tiny Tim was an outrageous novelty act who rode his impossibly high voice and tiny ukelele to fame after appearing on Rowan & Martin's hit TV show,
Laugh-In. Hearing this one again today makes me wonder whether Tim must not have been a major influence on little Russell Mael, the lead singer of Sparks whose vocal style owes a great deal to Tim. Some have accused Sparks, of course, of fueling Queen... especially tracks like their wildly popular "Bohemian Rhapsody." Anyone who lived through the gas crises will have a triggering moment listening to these all too true lyrics! Note: This beautiful Stereo/Stereo promo copy has very nearly Mint labels, and the audio is a strong Near Mint, despite some light scuffing on the vinyl (styrene). The copy for sale has the Clouds logo on it.
