Album : If at First (1972)
\"A real people masterpeice, this is a candidate for the weirdest release on the legendary vanity label. Five possibly stoned and/or drunk young women hang out in someone’s den with a TEAC reel-to-reel and sing their favorites. At first, it sounds like a very poor recording with their accompaniment mixed way too low in the background. However, as they are singing “El Condor Pasa” and you can hear Paul Simon singing with them, you realize their “accompaniment” for each song is the original recording itself. Thus, you hear them singing along with Karen Carpenter on “Close To You”, Maureen McGovern on “Morning After”, etc. They are often not very well in synch and even more frequently, you can hear the original singer “soloing”. It comes in a very primitive cover with 11\" x 11\" slicks paste on front and back. The labels are tan, which was the color used toward the end of RPC’s production in the late 70s & early 80s.\" http://rateyourmusic.com/list/KeepPunchin/the_curious_universe_of_outsider_and_incorrect_music/2/
