PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A CD OF THE 1974 VANGUARD LP RELEASE. IT's BETTER! Read on
The following is a review of the RETRO ROOTER 1972-1976 CD by Steve McDonald: "The RRGTCB, for all the internal workings that caused its eventual collapse into something other than gleeful anarchy, has left a legacy comedic bands even now often reflect the brass-driven chaos the Rotos scattered in their wake. Sadly, the sole Roto Rooter album (Vanguard, 1974-available on GEMM through various dealers)provided only a somewhat subdued and abbreviated example of the band. As of 1997, the album had not seen a CD release. Band member Geoff Cooper (aka Dr. Mabuse, DOA and the erstwhile dB Cooper) finally dug into his tape archives, extracting a variety of artifacts, which were then cleaned up and mastered by archivist Timothy Sewell. The result is this maniacal collection of demos, curiosities, Dr. Demento bumpers and radio pieces. The original recorded versions of "Rite Of Spring" and "The Buick LeSabre Dance" are here, alongside a thoroughly demolished "Stars and Stripes Forever," King Crimson`s "21st Century Schizoid Man" executed as a Lawrence Welk anthem, a raucous take of "Pico & Sepulveda" that flattens the version on the Vanguard album, and more. The album fortunately avoids the later attempts to crack the mainstream (when the band was known only as Roto). Some excellent moments are still missing (awaiting a second volume), including "Happy Trails" and "South of the Border," but there`s a treasure trove here for fans of Daft Things To Do With Brass Instruments in other words, do not miss "The Rite of Spring," in which the Geoff Cooper talent for sound effects takes over the world. ~ Steven McDonald, All-Music Guide
