CRAZY ELEPHANT
Crazy Elephant was one of the seemingly endless aliases employed by the Kasenetz-Katz
production duo to market their bubblegum hits of the late 1960s. Primarily a vehicle
for session vocalist Robert Spencer -- previously known for his performance with
the Cadillacs' post "Speedo" -- Crazy Elephant was the name appended to the
Kasenetz-Katz production of the song "Gimme Gimme Good Lovin'"; after the master
was rejected by Buddah Records, the Super K Productions duo's primary outlet, they
instead shopped the track to the Bell label, for whom it fell just shy of the U.S. Top Ten in 1969

RECORD NEAR EX (please, read above description)
SLEEVE VG+ but (please, see pictures and read above description)
The album contains mainly original compositions by band members and Kasenetz
and Katz together with an odd psychedelic R&B cover of Otis Redding's "Respect"
and the very strange heavy version of the Leonard Bernstein song "Somewhere."
While the music on this album does have a bubblegum feel to it, the entire album
is more overtly psychedelic with swirling organ, fuzz guitars, and even horns,
in the style of a less heavy Vanilla Fudge or Rare Earth. Crazy Elephant did manage
to produce a hit single in 1969 with the song "Gimme, Gimme Good Lovin'"
that featured vocals by Robert Spencer, former lead vocalist
from the '50s band the Cadillacs...(AllMusic)
