Originally released in the early 70's, it would be another 28 years or so before Warner Bros. dug this classic out of the vault and put it on CD. Thank goodness! I had a scratch on Side 2 of the vinyl LP.Now I can enjoy all the tunes again.
The Miraculous Hump Returns From The Moon. What a title and what a trip it must have been. This is such a smooth album. It has a jazzy sound with the tunes being driven primarly from saxophone and keyboard with subtle bass and vocals. Interesting lyrics and great melodies.
So, get the incense burning, turn on the Black Light and get ready to jive and jump with the Miraculous Hump.
