Another Zappa produced double album that was issued on Zappa’s
earlier imprint, Bizarre Records (issued by Reprise) was this one. Fischer
was institutionalized at age 16 for attacking his mother with a knife. He
was later diagnosed with two mental disorders, severe paranoid schizophrenia
and bipolar disorder. Following his escape from the hospital, Fischer hung
around Sunset Strip singing his songs, a cappella, for a dime. Discovered
on the street by Frank Zappa, Fischer became an underground concert favorite.
Some of the songs on the
album were actually recorded live, on the streets. It’s an amazing look into
the mind of this confused, unstable yet passioned songwriter.

Produced by Phil G Anderson, 1966
Recorded by Michael Purcell at Keystone Studios, Ireland
Dublin’s Abby Tavern dates back to the 15th Century close to the ancient
ruins of Howth Abbey, which dates back to the 11th century. Their big hit
song was "We're Off To Dublin in the Green" used by Carling Breweries (Canada)
Ltd in an international television advertising campaign. The song is an IRA
marching song dating back to approximately 1916. Using the soundtrack from
the commercial, the song was released on Canada's ARC Records and became
extremely popular, reaching No. 2 on Toronto’s CHUM Charts and selling close
to 150,000 copies in Canada alone within the first year of release.
It was a surprise hit, partly because of the poor sound quality, partly because
of the song's ties to the IRA, and partly because of its association with
an alcoholic beverage. Carling Black Label reported increased market share
following the release of the commercial and the song's subsequent popularity.
It was also recorded and released as a successful single in Canada by The
Carlton Showband that same year, renaming it The Merry Ploughboy, also on
ARC records.
