Brute Force - Extemporaneous (1970)
Stephen Friedland played keyboards and guitar for the Tokens. During that time he composed songs for Del Shannon, the Creation, the Cyrkle and the Chiffons . He left the Tokens in 1967 and recorded the heavily arranged and deeply absurd I, Brute Force: Confessions of Love for Columbia Records. Described by Brute as "a paradigm of being far ahead of its time", the record swiftly sank below both the critic's and the public's radar. 1969 saw the release of Brute's most memorable single, "The King of Fuh" -- the joke being that the protagonist was referred to as "the Fuh King." The track was championed by George Harrison and released as a single on the Beatles' Apple label. The next year Extemporaneous was released. Recorded live in the studio in 1969 with minimal piano accompaniment before a small audience, it was made up largely of comedy songs, political jabs and absurd improvisations, and has since become a sought after slab of vinyl. This is the reissue with numerous bonus tracks by Rev-Ola in 2004.
