The Plaster Casters, who lend their name but none of their musical talent to this record, were a group of groupies who were led by Cynthia Plaster Caster and made their name by taking plaster casts of male rock star genitalia. They really have nothing to do with the actual recording, though. Instead what you have here are some generic 60s blues-based rock instrumentals played by a component (if uninspired) group of session peformers that includes some fine blues and r&b players (see line-up below). It fairly groovy, generic rock and blues with harmonica and horns and would have made a component soundtrack to some teen-exploitation film. It doesn't have anything to do with plaster casting or groupies, however. (Though, if you are looking for some songs about groupies...)
The song titles are fun:
1-Lanoola Goes Limp,
2- Seven Foot Drummer from Fleetwood Mac,
3- Joint Venture,
4-You Didn't Try to Ball Me (for Frank Zappa),
5- Banks of Barclay,
6-Welcome Hamptons Outstanding,
7- Plaster Caster,
8-Chicago Charva Chapter
9-Diane's Blue Plate Special,
10-Blues for Big Jimi,
11-Pray Tell Brian.
Here's the line-up:
Bobby Bryant (Trumpet), Arthur Adams (Guitar), Jules Chaiken (Vocals), Max Hardy (Drums), Gildo Mahones (Organ), Gildo Mahones (Piano), Gildo Mahones (Keyboards), Ellen Sander (Vocals), George Harmonica Smith (Harmonica), George Harmonica Smith, Clifford Solomon (Saxophone), Clifford Solomon (Tenor (Vocal)), Bob Thiele (Producer)
