They’re coming! The Hippies! The Acid Heads! BLONDE ON A BUM TRIP is a frank, revealing look at the LSD generation! Instead of using the usual jazzy instrumental library music or generic elevator pop, The Vagrants, The Bit’ A Sweet, and to a much greater extent The E-Types were recruited to propel the film's lysergic journey. This serves as the first ever soundtrack to this film as well as a doctorate level exploration into The E-Types’ “Put The Clock Back On The Wall.” On hallucinogenic swirl vinyl!
1967 ushered in the Summer of Love and dozens of feature length psychedelic-themed films flooded theaters and drive-ins, opening minds across America. A number of black & white LSD films were made in the mid-1960s, yet Blonde on a Bum Trip (1968) stands out as something unique and different. Shot in NYC entirely in electric shades of gray, this motion picture comes across more like an underground student film and freaky fringe time capsule.
The music tracks are used effectively as a driving device and create an unmistakable mood, especially The E-Types relentless ear worm “Put the Clock Back on the Wall.” The Bit’ A Sweet’s “Is It On, Is It Off?” provides a delirious dance track. The other oddball “LSD” song that recurs in the movie was performed by a relatively unknown band, Thee Neons, fronted by John Wonderling. He would go on to have his own long career as a singer/songwriter. Russell Leslie, the drummer for The Bit’ A Sweet, also played with Thee Neons.
After nearly a decade in the making, we are pleased to say that the film now has a groovy soundtrack album! It’s Out of Sight - Out of Mind!
