Music reviews of Phlorescent Leech & Eddie/flo & Eddie (Double CD)
Music Review: Long overdue reissue of two fantastic albums
Rating: 5 Stars
After the Chungas/200 Motels-era Mothers were forcibly disbanded due to Zappa's injuries in 1971, Flo and Eddie jetted over to Reprise to begin their solo career with "The Phlorescent Leech and Eddie." Oddly, despite coming after the legendary hooliganism of this period of the Mothers, it logically follows "Turtle Soup" in the musical evolution of the duo. Comprised almost entirely of self-penned tracks--along with two leftovers from the Turtles days--it's a real gem of an album, with surprisingly little of the clown-prince attitude that would later reassert itself on "Illegal, Immoral, and Fattening." Mark and Howard are in fine form, the band (comprised principally of ex-Mothers/Turtles) is stellar, and the production is refreshingly straightforward and uncluttered.
"Flo and Eddie" acts as a logical extension of the first album. A bit more theatrical and arch than the first effort (which makes sense; they were opening for Alice Cooper at the time), it contains standout tracks like "Just Another Town" and "Another Pop Star's Life."
Regarding the package...well, you get what you pay for. This is a budget release, after all...the liner notes (by Howard, seemingly) have the occasional inconsistency (we're told that the first album is entirely self-penned...immediately before a discussion of the Bonner/Gordon gem "Goodbye Surprise"), but all in all it's a fairly solid set, and long overdue. From the looks of it, this is a borderline self-released effort, and Mark and Howard should be commended for FINALLY getting these albums back into print.
Bill Inglot did the remastering, and the sound quality favors the slightly pinched frequency response he seems to prefer nowadays (compare "Nikki Hoi" here to the more natural-sounding presentation on "The Best of Flo and Eddie"), but unless you are very familiar with how these albums sounded on vinyl, you probably won't mind. Note also that this set seemingly has nothing to do with that *other* Flo and Eddie two-fer making the rounds ("Illegal/Moving Targets") which seems to have been shoddily assembled.
Random collectors' aside: note that the versions of "Goodbye Surprise" and "Feel Older Now" are wildly different mixes from the alternates that appear on "The Best of Flo and Eddie"...and these are much, much better.
