Anyone heard of this:

[img][200:200]http://www.cdquest.com/images/album_art/sorted/5050/7492/5050749206428.jpg[/img]

I just got it. The Kinks 1971 soundtrack for a film about a penis transplant. I'd never heard of the album nor the film before, possibly for good reason. I'll admit I'm not the biggest Kinks fan, but why does this dodgy curio seem like the dark secret in the Kinks katalogue?

I've heard of it but never heard it. I think I actually heard good things about it so when you develop an opinion....

You can download the tracks for (supposedly) 10 cents each here:

Can't vouch for the veracity of that, but looks true.

I've heard of the movie....it came out around the same time ( I think ) as "Chatterbox" - another Genetalia Comedy ( classic genre, that ) .

Yeah, I've wondered about this myself. Someone tell me if it's good or not.

Or I could try to download it later.

Because compared to the outstanding string of albums that came before it, it's a turd.

Rads, what do you feel about Muswell?
