From the liner notes:

From the liner notes: "In March of 1975, Tom (Recchion) and Harold (Shroeder) rented a studio in an old building on Colorado Blvd., and began working under the name "The Two Who Do Duets."  "The Two" began with the purpose of establishing a common language of sounds and techniques which they could use to further explore their medium.  In the fall of 1975, Juan (Gomez) was invited to join, thus creating the necessity to alter the name as it was now a trio.  The old title was shortened to Doo Doo Ettes.  In January of 1976, Dennis (Duck) joined and the quartet began preparing for its first live appearance, scheduled for January 30 above Poo-Bah record shop in Pasadena.  They were joined by fellow members of the newly established Los Angeles Free Music Society: Le Forte Four and Ace and Deuce.
  The concert proved to be a fairly successful first effort and, in February, L.A.F.M.S. began planning a second presentation for June.  In the first part of that month, Fred (Nilsen), who had been playing informally with the Ettes for some time, became the fifth member and the quintet began composing and arranging material for the show.  This is a record of the sound events which took place in the recital hall of the Brand Library on July 8, 1976.
 "On July 8th, 1976, the Doo-Dooettes and Le Forte Four (as representatives of the L.A. Free Music Society) gave a performance at the Brand Art Center in Glendale, California. For their portion of the event, Le Forte Four tried to play back prerecorded tapes through 44 pyramid shaped headphones. Both the tapes and the headphones were specifically designed for the concert. The Doo-Dooettes played live."

COVER and RECORDs are Mint-.  Cover is the original, with color xeroxes, and also a flyer pasted inside.  I got this new back in 1978, played it once (liked it too) to tape it, and it's been on the shelf well preserved in plastic these past 28 years.  This culture shocker needs a good home--how about yours?
