'''The Planet of the Apes - A Musical Trip'" Planet Of The Apes ... A Musical Trip (TPI Records - 1974)

"GO APE!! - on a musical trip that will have you dancing... singing a long... learning from 10 original, beautiful, and exciting songs. Hear GAYLEN! Hear DR. ZAIUS! Hear IRKO!... they tell you what they think about humans and themselves. PLANET OF THE APES is a musical trip the whole family will enjoy." In 1974 Electric Cowboy, a band from central Connecticut, got an offer from semi-known New York manager-type Terry Phillips - he had this little project that he wanted them to do. The band got demos of tunes, written by big-time pro-songwriters, for a childrens' album based on the 'Planet of the Apes' TV series. The music for the songs were of 2 types: big piano Broadway showstoppers; and mellow folk guitar stoner introspectives. The lyrics were all written by Terry Phillips himself and were consistantly semi-hilarious, but the band did their best, enjoying the process even when Phillips had this actor-guy dub some dialogue in between the songs. They did their part and in return Phillips got them a nice four-night showcase at 'Max's Kansas City' where they played their own songs. The band also got to wear Ape costumes and appear in the 1974 Macy's Thanksgiving Parade on the Mego Toy Co Float (right behind Underdog). They all went on and had decent (in a couple of cases, more than decent) careers.
