Long-time lurker/subscriber to your blog Mr BaliHai, thanks for picking up on this post.
One of those albums I've had for eons but had forgotten how truly demented it is.
I've been meaning to steer a friend to your site. He's building an Art Car Museum with attached Tiki Bar here in southern Arizona.

Love the "supersonic sounds" oxymoron.

The sleeve looks like it says "WORLDS FAIR", which seems a far braver concept for 62 Seattle than any mere world's fair.

thudlike: Arizona?! I thought your blog was run by 2 demented Bavarian retrofuturists...;-)
rone: I'm intrigued by the "Gayway to Heaven."
trevor: I'll bet the Martian Pavilion was spectacular.

i have this on cd, wonderful album. i think the music here is for more than just the bubbleator though(i'm still sad that they took that out of the seattle center). if i remember correctly this is also the world's fair where sid and marty performed their adult puppet show before they entered the world of psychedelic children's television.
