Tiny Tim: Lost & Found 1963-1974 is a (vinyl only) collection of 17 obscurities, consisting of previously unreleased acetates, privately pressed 45's, and an early '60's studio session arranged by Milton Glaser. Much of the material on this release was thought to have been lost to time, but after many years of collecting and compiling by Tiny Tim enthusiasts, Secret Seven Records is making it available to a wider audience for the first time.
Lost & Found contains tracks from Tiny's pre-fame years, recorded between 1963 and 1966, as well as songs from his post-fame years, recorded between 1971 and 1974. The material from the 1960's represents the years in which Tiny scraped by, performing in dives in Greenwich Village and living with his parents who had, by 1963, written him off as mentally ill. The material from the early 1970's, although recorded while his mainstream career was in its decline, features some of the most intriguing, eclectic, and enjoyable material of his career.
This limited edition VINYL LP includes liner notes by Tiny Tim historian / biographer, Justin A. Martell and a cover photo by Baron Wolman. Secret Seven would like to thank Ernie Clark and Justin Martell for their invaluable assistance.
"I listened to this album absolutely entranced. Tiny's genius is, I have always felt, utterly indescribable. Bizarre, devastatingly real, funny, sad—this album shows Tiny Tim as the emotionally naked and inspired innocent he was.What a remarkable man and artist, revealed as even more remarkable by this glorious and gorgeous album. " -David Tibet (Current 93)
