DESCRIPTION
While touring as the lead role Claude, with the Broadway musical HAIR, Les put together material for an album with a group of musicians from Seattle. It was recorded in 1971, but never released until now. It was the first album ever recorded by Les, a lost treasure found on cassette and remastered by David Zaffiro.
The song BAD CREDIT was re-worked and re-titled as IT’S ALRIGHT and recorded along with the song CHANGING ME by BLOODGOOD on OUT OF THE DARKNESS. Flesh Failures and Let the Sunshine In were original HAIR songs.
Les originally wrote the song CHANGING ME for a clothing store in Miami, back in 1971, in exchange for clothes from their store including those Stars and Stripe pants that he's wearing on the back cover and disc face.
HAIR influenced Les's theatrical approach to all his music. Les’s vocals sound very young but the Les Carlsen 'sound' is unmistakable. The primal scream in SOMEDAY is a foreshadowing of the signature screams in later BLOODGOOD material.

One of most powerful voices of this earth !... God bless you, Les !
This is amazing! Never knew this existed.
Stoked I found this! 🙌 I was sharing lots of Les' songs and Bloodgood's powerful videos via Facebook and had to share!
Wow!!
WOW! What a piece of history. Such an iconic voice.
Mano a voz dele é histórica, canta muito.Parabéns Les.
Okay, this is fantastic.
Cool retro song. Les Carlsen must be 75 years old at this point.
Back then ,two different artist were anointed, one was Ozzy for the dark side, the second was les for good side. It's been a war between the two ever since!
OK, so here's the deal. I honestly bought this ONLY to get Les Carlsen's signature because he was one of my influences in the mid to late 80's. I thought the music would stink -- based on the cover tunes I expected some Age of Aquarius elevator music crap. Besides, I don't dig most early 70s rock. Man, was I wrong! There's this really cool mix of Sabbath-like guitar, bass and drums with some tasteful mellotron and Moog sounds added in, really good vocals by Les and a neat mix of songs familiar and not. Even a couple of killer guitar solos, too, which I did not expect. It's definitely an early 70's time piece, but it's put together nicely and I recommend it for any Bloodgood fan who wants to see where Les was a decade earlier.
ibamct Just want to say I really appreciate believe in some comments. It’s an incredible project and was a lot of fun working with Les to put this together. If you’re OK with it I’d like to use your comments on our website
Girder actually, I went there first to comment, but followed the CZcams link from there. Feel free to use. Thanks for what you do, man!
OMG Less has risen...from 1971
IS A CHRISTIAN SONG?
