This cd makes me have a happy heart! Lucia Pamela is so crazy! Beautiful! The singing sounds weird not because it's a low-quality old recording but because there's a weird old-school analog reverb on all the vocals! & the things she sings about seem so strange because very rarely will you encounter anything so friendly! & innocuous! Yay! Plus, the band which is always plowing jazzily away behind the singing is so together -- because it's all Lucia Pamela! The band & vocals seem to care about each other very little though, & wee! Dear meee, you are the sweetest thing, she says, & I agree! Listen to this, be liberated from convention, & have fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars ., January 21, 2000

CD release of Lucia Pamela's ultra-rare 1969 self-recorded album. Pamela sounds like an inebriated Ethel Merman backed by a peyote-soaked klezmer band, with plenty of raw abandon and high spirits--the shortest distance between Sun Ra and the Shaggs. Includes the hits "Walking on the Moon" and "In the Year 2000." Booklet contains rare photos and inspiring life-story liner notes. Brain damage for the kiddies--beats any purple dinosaur!

...at least that what she thinks. I first heard Lucia Pamela's "Moontown" on one of the now sadly out-of-print RESearch Incredibly Strange Music volumes. Even though all of the tracks were, well, incredibly strange, Lucia Pamela stuck out head and shoulders above the rest. When I was able to track down this CD, I leapt at the opportunity, ordered it, and proceeded to either amuse or annoy all my friends with it. "Moontown" is a drop in the bucket compared to some of the other tracks. This woman is absolutely crackers and I love her. The bio included in the liner notes explains a lot about her that I simply did not know including the rumour that she performed all the instruments accompanying her. If you find a copy of her colouring book in an antiques shop or flea market, please contact me! She's still waiting for my entry in the colouring contest...
