You know what would truely be HELL?
Teenage McCartney,Davy Jones and Phil Collins song-and-dance/hamming it on stage.
How many Beatles lps been totally fucked-up by McCartney's 20s-50s pastiche cack?
Your Mother Should Know, my ass.
Monkees "Head" would have been a pop-psych masterpiece if it wasn't for Artful Dodger-Jones throwing sand into the gears with an atrocity the likes of "Daddy's Song". (And "Cuddly Toy" on another lp)
Was it mainly a Uk thing (due to Victoriana)?
Some US examples:
Fallen Angels (US band???)
first Electric Prunes
Seem to recall FREAKSCENE "PSYCHEDELIC SOUL" had one of these vocoder-type 20s musichall tracks - but do not quote me: maybe it was just one of those dated politorant spoken word tracks.
I would think Van Dyke Parks "Song Cycle" concept lp would have some of this.
