For the first time ever, legendary underground classic “An Evening
With Wild Man Fischer” produced by Frank Zappa will be released on CD by
Gonzo Multimedia! The album has been out of print for decades and
original vinyl copies are highly sought after!
Born Larry Wayne Fischer in Los Angeles, California, Wild Man Fischer
was institutionalized at age 16, and later diagnosed with two mental
disorders, severe paranoid schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Following
his escape from the hospital (he said no one ever bothered to take him
back there), Fischer wandered Los Angeles singing his songs a capella
for 10 cents each to passers-by. Discovered on the street by Frank
Zappa, with whom he recorded his first album in 1968, Fischer became an
underground concert favorite. Zappa was responsible for Fischer’s
initial foray into the business of recorded music, an album called “An
Evening with Wild Man Fischer”, which contained 36 tracks, some of which
contained musical accompaniment by Zappa and some of the Mothers of
Invention members, and others featured Wildman Fischer solo.
The CD will be released on January 29, 2016
