   "An Evening With Wildman Fischer" To Be

   London, UK - For the first time ever, legendary underground classic "An   
   Evening With Wildman Fischer" produced by Frank Zappa will be released on CD   
   by Gonzo Multimedia! The album has been out of print for decades and original   
   vinyl copies are highly    
   sought after!   
      
   Born Larry Wayne Fischer in Los Angeles, California, Wild Man Fischer was   
   institutionalized at age 16, and later diagnosed with two mental disorders,   
   severe paranoid schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Following his escape from   
   the hospital (he said no    
   one ever bothered to take him back there), Fischer wandered Los Angeles   
   singing his songs a capella for 10 cents each to passers-by. Discovered on the   
   street by Frank Zappa, with whom he recorded his first album in 1968, Fischer   
   became an underground    
   concert favorite. Zappa was responsible for Fischer's initial foray into the   
   business of recorded music, an album called "An Evening with Wild Man   
   Fischer", which contained 36 tracks, some of which contained musical   
   accompaniment by Zappa and some of the    
   Mothers of Invention members, and others featured Wildman Fischer solo.
