The first of the Spoken Word albums -- very much not everyone's cup-o-tea. In fact most people I know, make that Everybody I Know, would not be willing to listen to this completely through.

It is a compilation of live performances, using a tape machine to create a delay effect/ It is poetry from the early 70s. It is a mind trip. They're like Cool Beat, man!
