Wild Man Fischer - Monkeys Versus Donkeys

Larry "Wild Man" Fischer (born Lawrence Wayne Fischer, November 6, 1944 in Los Angeles, California) is a prolific songwriter in the outsider genre. He is notable for being responsible for Rhino Records' first release, Go To Rhino Records (1975). Described by Allmusic as "certified paranoid schizophrenic and acid casualty", Fischer's highly unusual style has developed a cult following.

An Evening with Wild Man Fischer is a 1968 double LP album by Wild Man Fischer released on Frank Zappa's Bizarre record label. The copyright is owned by the estate of Frank Zappa, but his widow Gail Zappa has chosen to not release it on CD, to the ire of the small but dedicated Wild Man Fischer fan club. Original vinyl copies have been sold for high amounts on the internet.
