Flo & Eddie - The Phlorescent Leech & Eddie CD 72 w st CD 73 w Illegal, Immoral And Fattening LP 75 w Moving Targets LP 76 w The Best Of LP 87


 Just showing the three vinyl I ripped this weekend after learning about the death of Mark Volman.  I had delayed posting this while Twilight Zone blogspot members were posting the stuff I didn't have in comments so added those now as well per title listing.  It was my first listen to the band and I thoroughly enjoyed their music covers and the 'whole show' as it were...sounding excellent on vinyl.  Per Discogs:  When Mark Volman & Howard Kaylan departed from The Turtles they were embroiled in contract entanglements which prevented them from performing under their own identities. In 1970 the duo hitched up with Frank Zappa as vocalists, touring with his band and being credited on the release Chunga's Revenge by the pseudonym The Phlorescent Leech & Eddie. The name stuck. They released an eponymous album as The Phlorescent Leech & Eddie, and the nickname later become shortened to Flo & Eddie.

One highlight of their performances with Zappa was a rendition of The Turtles' "Happy Together" on Fillmore East - June 1971, as a pair of 'Fillmore groupies', though the duo are credited by their given names on the release.
