Check this out! We’re happy to have found a spare copy of this lost LP, an unequalled masterpiece of psyched-out genius ROBERT CALLENDER. You won’t believe what’s on this LP!
The facts:
-in the 60’s Bobby recorded a couple of soul sides
- in the late 60’s Bobby tripped out on LSD and recorded a couple of spaced-out psychedlic sitar sugar trips, one produced by Alan Lorber
What happened after? Believe it or not: Bobby Callender got deeply inspired by the french painting movement of the IMPRESSIONISTS, urging him to record the TRIBUTE ALBUM on auction here.
It’s improbable, but this is a concept album by a afro-american musician on French impressionism. If you know his psychedelic LPs, you know that Bobby is master of over-inspired feeling, and here he is trying to become a French impressionist. A genuinely pathetic project…… BUT! Play it a few times and you’ll get TOTALLY hooked. This man is FOR REAL! The arrangements, by Mark Suozzo are incredibly deep. This reaches the level of Leroy Hutson’s self-titled LP, and if you know that LP you know we’re talking about something here. Why this LP was only released in Holland on the PHILIPS label, in a very low number, remains a mystery. Or maybe the mystery is that it was released at all? Anyway, it’s nearly impossible to find in Holland, and out of the 696 google hits on robert callender there is not a single one referring to his Impressionism-suite. A true lost masterwork.
When you’re getting into Bobby’s LP, you’ll start to realise that something was happening during the recordings. A spaced-out fellow dedicating a whole album to French 19th century painters… the session musicians must have thought “who is this WEIRD DUDE???”. But during the rehearsal everybody must have started to slowly to dig Bobby’s vibe…… and finally getting TOTALLY INTO IT. Pathetic from the outside, FOR REAL from the inside, this mystical madman. And the result was a incredibly insprired Lp, as VERY FEW albums are, this just steals your heart and soul.
When, or if, he is no more his own words on MONET may very well be applied to himself:
A visionary of Time and Space and the Light.
He died spiritually a success,
leaving behind a legacy of heavenly bliss

“He was a guiding light but did not pretend to be
Lived on loans
Lived by the grace of God and the aid of a friend
Lived, evolved and created new themes of cause and effect
Yes he was a guiding light, for all to see
Monet, Monet, Monet
I'm singin"bout Claude Monet
Monet, Monet, Monet
A visionary of Time and Space and the Light
He died in 1926,
He died spiritually a success,
He died leaving behind a legacy of heavenly bliss,
And a son and mistress
Monet, Monet, Monet
I'm singin"bout Claude Monet
A visionary of Time and Space and the Light”
For a few life has truly been,
For the most part a tragedy,
And Vincent Van Gogh was one who suffered
Need I say anymore?
Can a man be so torn
From the first day that he's born,
Or does it take time, or something forelorn?
Need I say anymore?
Mystical madman, yes, mystical but a very sad man was he
Tr6s triste
A kind of Steppenwoif, if you know what I mean
A mystical madman, yes, mystical but very sad man was he
Tres triste
Not even Theo or Gaughin or a prostitute could fulfill his needs
But can anyone deny his love for life?
But then why attempt suicide?
Or was there something else he saw in the light?
Need I say anymore?
A mystical madman, yes, mystical but truly a very, very sad man
Little man, little man, born an aristocrat
Little did you know at your time of birth you'd become an
Invalid?
Little man, little man, born an aristocrat
Alcohol didn't do you no good,
just a mental breakdown, paralysis, and death
Petit homme, petit homme,
Out, Je chante au sujet de Toulouse-Lautrec
How were you able to paint the world you live in as miraculous
as you did?
La Danse de la Gouloue et de Valentine Desosse, La Clownesse
Cha-U-Kao, La Femme au Boa Noir et la Toilette et
Femme Tirant Son Bas
In the Paddock at Longchamps by day,
And in the Moulin Rouge by night,
Drinking Absynthe and Cognac and sketching everything in
sight
