You Are What You Eat & What You Eat Is What You Is
A while ago posted a track from the Soundtrack to this this film and Listener Lee wrote in saying how he dug the whole LP and if possible etc....etc... then my man over at Midnight To Six layed the actual film on me and I went looking for the record but to no avail as it went on as records often do a long vacation, guess just sitting on my shelf was getting a bit boring for it, well about 5am one morning last week, it showed up drunk hung over thin and scraggly filled with wild tales of untold abandon, so i quickly seized the moment before it took it's winter break and now for you have the whole shebang listen up as this is one of the best and possibly truest Sixties documents ever made and is I believe the record debut of Tiny Tim, Nuff Said!

Thank you SO much, Gerb, for posting this! Every since I lost my 8-TRACK copy of this rare soundtrack, I have been trying to replace it. The personell on this album is just unbelievable- The Band, Peter Yarrow, The Electric Flag, Tiny Tim... It's hard to believe it's never been rereleased. IMO "The Wabe" is one fine pop song and Tiny Tim singing "I got You Babe" - it's the definitive version!
Record Brother Rules!
And thanx for the link to my site!

Amazing stuff! Very witty and brilliant, and I love the way the album flows. I've heard this version of "I Got You Babe" on something called the Annoying Music Show album. I think it was described as Tiny Tim and a young Bob Dylan in the liner notes, But I guess that must have been a joke. I guess it doesn't really sound like him, but you never know.

Oh Bless you Brother. Like the above poster, all I had was an 8-track, which although I did possess, dared not play for fear of stretching and breaking the damned thing.
Having lived through and seen some of the stuff in the film. this recording is one I've been searching for for some time. "My Name is Jack" has rattled in my brain for twenty-six years and now is zipping around my ears in escape.
You will be rewarded. Do you have a copy of "The Devil's Anvil", produced by Felix Papplardi in 1968? If not I will burn you a copy....

This is great but do you have artist info, like who does what track, who's playing the Moog, etc?

Great post, thanks! You Are... has been on my longtime must-hear list due to John Simon's wonderfully oddball "My Name Is Jack."
