Editorial Reviews
Product Description
To this day it is still hard to believe that such a popster like Sonny Bono would come out with an LP like *Inner Views*, but that's how weird things got in 1967. Or did they...for alongside the 12-minute-plus psychedelic freakout *I Just Sit There* was the seven-minute anti-drug rant *Pammie's a Bummer*, giving a clue to Mr. Bono's future political leanings. The whole album is just a glorious mess, Phil Spector on a bad trip, with Sonny's off-key, nasal vocals rhyming "sturgeon" with "virgin" among other untoward couplets, while sitars drone and guitars groan...and as such it is a certified cult classic, another proud, exclusive addition to our *Collectors' Choice Music* gallery of pop's weirder moments.

A so-bad-it's-great 'Sixties classic.......2005-07-05
Sonny Bono's infamous, self-indulgent psychedelic-kitsch "classic" solo album, from 1967. This edition, on Collector's Choice Music, only includes the five original tracks from the 1967 LP. It does NOT also include all the bonus tracks that were included on an earlier Rhino Handmade release. The CCM version has five songs on it. They are: "I Just Sit There," "I Told My Girl To Go Away," "I Would Marry You Today," "My Best Friend's Girl Is Out Of Sight" and "Pammie's On A Bummer" ...And they are pretty funny, in a painful, "The 'Sixties were so kooky" kinda way.

To this day it is still hard to believe that such a popster like Sonny Bono would come out with an LP like 'Inner Views', but thats how weird things got in 1967. Or did they...for alongside the 12-minute-plus psychedelic freakout 'I Just Sit There' was the seven-minute anti-drug rant 'Pammies a Bummer', giving a clue to Mr. Bonos future political leanings. The whole album is just a glorious mess, Phil Spector on a bad trip, with Sonnys off-key, nasal vocals rhyming sturgeon with virgin among other untoward couplets, while sitars drone and guitars groan...and as such it is a certified cult classic, another proud addition to the gallery of pops weirder moments. Other tracks include 'I Told My Girl to Go Away; I Would Marry You Today', and 'My Best Friends Girl Is Out of Sight'...out of sight, indeed!

Your mother's cooking sturgeon/your sister's still a virgin.......2005-04-23
EP from Sonny Bono(sans Cher)is scattershot, half-baked, dated--but it's a glittering relic. A high-minded and spotty bid at success(with an underlying feel of complete indifference to the pop market). The effort could've used a better music editor, for the songs go on too long. The lyrics are a fruity batch of witticisms, but Bono's singing isn't bad and on the slower, tender "I Told My Girl To Go Away", he almost renders a throwaway classic.

This is a limited edition (1,500) reissue of Sonny Bono's only solo album, released on CD by rhinohandmade.com. Inner Views is Sonny's "anti-masterpiece". It came out two years after he had his only solo hit, "Laugh at Me". The album was both a critical and commercial failure, but it's certainly an interesting failure. It seems to be very influenced by Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in a superficial way, without really understanding what it was about Pepper that made it great. The album has 5 whole songs on it, totaling 33 minutes (the CD version is 69 minutes long). It opens with the 12 minute opus "I Just Sit There", which seems to be about how the world is changing... or something. Then we hear "I Told My Girl To Go Away", about the pain of inter-racial dating. "I Would Marry You Today" sounds like a song from out of the '50s, and seems out of place on a "hip" album from 1967. "My Best Friend's Girl Is Out of Sight" is about the perils of double dating. The album ends with "Pammie's on a Bummer", an eight minute freakout about a prostitute. This is one bizarrely entertaining album that has to be heard to be believed! The CD also includes all of Sonny's solo singles that were released by Atco Records, plus the instrumental backing track to "Laugh at Me". A very thorough job! Here is the complete track listing:
1. I Just Sit There
2. I Told My Girl To Go Away
3. I Would Marry You Today
4. My Best Friend's Girl Is Out of Sight
5. Pammie's on a Bummer
