Personnel: Randy California (vocals, guitar, "waterbass"); Charlie Bundy (bass, background vocals); Tim McGovern (drums, background vocals); Larry Knight (bass); Ed Cassidy (drums). Recorded at Larabee, Sun West and Sound City Studios, Los Angeles, California. Randy California's KAPT. KOPTER AND THE (FABULOUS) TWIRLY BIRDS, one of the greatest psychedelic guitar records of all time, is also noted for its broken-down lo-fi aura despite the studio overdubs and groovy sonic effects. Randy California was a guitar master, but much like Buck Dharma with Blue Oyster Cult, his main band, Spirit, never quite made it to the top rank. They had their moments however--THE TWELVE DREAMS OF DR. SARDONICUS being one brilliant example--but nothing quite like the mind-blowing KAPT. KOPTER AND THE (FABULOUS) TWIRLY BIRDS with its transformative Beatles, James Brown, and Paul Simon (!) covers.
