046 Misty Mirage (Curt Boettcher) / Begin (The Millennium)
from Robert Pollard's Guide To The Late 60s · host Trust The Wizards
It seemed a cert that Curt would hit paydirt with his elaborate Californian chamber pop. He & his band The Millennium were given access to Columbia’s new 8 track recording facilities and begun making Begin, one of the most expensively made albums of the millennium up to that point. To say it didn’t recoup costs would be something of an understatement but it has gone on to become a cult favourite. On his tape, Robert Pollard paired it with an album of mostly unreleased material Curt & his pals recorded before and after The Millennium.
