The Hellers / Creative Freakout

The best thing about this record is the packaging. I don't just mean its physical packaging, a 10″ record in a paper sleeve that fits into a larger cardboard folder, but its trappings as a collectable record. Promotional only industrial item? √ Command Records "psych" connection? √ Wiggy weird 60s spoken word pop culture kitsch? √ Strangely good reputation? √ This record may sound like it must be great, but I hope it's not something you'd actually want to listen to, cause "subversive" ad jingles from stoned, smug pseudo-counterculture ad men are still just dated-ass jingles at the end of the day. I'm not down with this record.
If I sound bitter it's because I traded this for a Daisy Chain six months ago and I'm still waiting cause my Daisy Chain is lost somewhere in a massive, massive collection of records like this.
I'm not bitter, but I do think waxidermy needs more negative reviews, so here is one.

I like old advertising. I wish you had posted a sample track.
