Artist:  Randy California

Title:  Kapt. Kopter and the Fabulous Twirly Birds

Date:  1972

Label:  Epic Records   KE31755

Cover Artwork:  Photos by Bud Lee

Lettering by:  Joe Garnett

Notes:  Spirit front man Randy California put together a nice mix of material for this 1972 outing.  The Beatles and Paul simon are represented and well played.   Straight forward B & W photography adorns the cover, but with the lettering it makes for an interesting look.  Very Spirit-like in nature, this is a record worth a listen or two if you can find it.

I've been informed that the Mr. McTorius listed below was none other than Noel Redding, he of Hendrix fame and glory, using a nom de guerre for contractual reasons.

Line Up

Randy California: guitar and lead vocals
Clit McTorius: bass
