The JKs liked pop-rock, but they didn't necessarily have a talent for making it. Picture two young Phil Spectors but without the eccentricity, the genius that morphed into madness. From 1966 to 1977, the two JKs were music-business impresarios: songwriters, producers, promoters, hustlers. Kasenetz-Katz refers to Jerry Kasenetz and Jeffry Katz, also known as Super K Productions. To shed light on this obscure corner, let's dig back into ancient history. Some of you weren't alive in 1968 or even in 1993, but you're here because you're curious and perhaps seeking oddities for your record collection. Would anyone even want to download the album? Whatever the collection's title, you can't legally download its electronic files, if you can find them at all. So strictly speaking, The Kasenetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus has never appeared on CD. However, for that release the title was changed to Down in Tennessee, taken from one of the song titles. It was reissued on CD only once, by Castle Communications in Germany in 1993. This pop-cultural artifact was released by New York's Buddah (later, correctly, Buddha) Records in 1968. The label "fringe time capsule" applies equally well to The Kasenetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus, a vintage LP that made it out of the analog era but just barely. For example, one vintage LP that never made it onto CD is The East Coast 60's Rock & Roll Experiment, released in 1986 and discussed by me in a recent Perfect Sound Forever article as "a fringe time capsule."
