A request from over at the groovy fab forum that I thought fit here perfectly. A freaky noise-ladden first LP from Lothar and the Hand People called Presenting...... Looks like high school yearbook phots on the cover!!! These freaky guys do a wild version of Bye Bye Love by the Everlys, plus tons of originals. I think the vocals on Machines have a Beatlesque quality at times, but the real freakout song has gotta be Kids Are Little People which is Devo 10 years too early. Anyways this is a cool LP from a time when record companies would give damn near anything a shot (AKA:the GOOD old days) and this qualifies as anything, but I think there is some real talent in these grooves. Looking for their second album (hint hint) if anyone has it.

thanks for lothar and his peeps. i had a chance to get this some time ago and didn't for some reason. i did notice that importing into itunes lists ohio express - bbs as the album title though.
Yeah I had space left on my Lothar disk, so the tags are messed up, but i checked them. It's all the right music
Hi,

The Ohio Express LP is great! I only knew their wonderful Top 40 singles, but the LP is well worth listening to. Thanks!
