The album’s astrological theme and Robert Crumb-esque comic-book style cover art, illustrated by the renowned cartoonist Siné, marks it as a European parallel to the burgeoning counter-cultural happenings of the same period in the USA. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe reissue also offers tantalising glimpses of a projected animated tie-in film that never was. Wilen's friend, the experimental artist and photographer Jean Larivière, who during the 1960s would share projects with Salvador Dali and assist Chris Marker, had concocted a surreal superhero screenplay featuring living landscapes and abominable monsters which he wished to create as an animated representation of Zodiac. A synopsis of the screenplay survives along with sketches and photographic inspirations which have been lovingly compiled by We Are Busy Bodies as an insert to the vinyl edition. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally released on the Disques Vogue label in 1966, the album has been restored and remastered from Barney Wilen‘s personal copy of the album. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe album was recorded a few years after performing on albums and European tours with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers and Miles Davis. - \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1Y82TVeAY6kTnhWdLbPi4T?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 49.9368%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 49.9368%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLabel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWe Are Busy Bodies - WABB-118\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCanada\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReleased:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10th June 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJazz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFree Jazz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"We Are Busy Bodies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41844318109854,"sku":"0634457078994","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/a1282828641_10.jpg?v=1657614925","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/barney-wilen-zodiac","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
