Title: This album changed my life
Product review: I remember listening to this over and over again as a kid starting at 5 years old. Woe to me if my big brother caught me playing his records (he was afraid I'd scratch them). But at least my brother was generous and played this album a lot. As a little kid, some of these songs really frightened me (The Bat, He Never Came Back, Exploration in Terror), but I grew to love the whole thing. This record was a big reason why I got into being a musician in later years and took up the drums (and writing original stuff on keys) and having a moderately successful carreer doing soundtracks. I don't think there is any other album from the 60's as wacky and as experimental as this. This is the Ventures really pushing their boundaries and coming up with amazing sounds (done all on guitars - as they stress in the liner notes). This is a great example of incredible 60's guitar albums. I think it's downright historic. It was also Keith Moon's favorite record.
