NOTHING, CHARLIE - Outside/Inside

"Charlie Nothing was the fractured-psyche pseudonym of author, father,\r\nhorsekeeper, organic farmer, beekeeper, philosopher, clown and\r\ninventor of the Dingulator (guitar sculptures made from American car\r\nmetal), Charles Martin Simon. Charlies only visible offering to the\r\nrecord buying public was really anything but. Due to its rarity, The\r\nPsychedelic Saxophone of Charlie Nothing, issued by Takoma Records in\r\n1967, has been a source of consternation for in-the-know types for\r\nyears.\r\nOutside / Inside, the second and only other Charlie Nothing LP,\r\noriginally issued by Everitt Enterprises in 1969, thematically follows\r\nwith two sidelong flute-based instrumentals. Nowhere on wax will you\r\nfind more palpable preserved air of a real-time dropout scene than\r\nwith these sides of Nothing. It is a wonder that these records\r\ncirculated at all outside the vacuum in which they were created.\r\nNothingness, a California existentiality looping back on itself,\r\npreserved and disseminated as evidence. There are indeed very few\r\nrecords like these.\r\nFully Authorized / Fully Legit." - Destijl.
