Jackpine Savage (Bruce Haack) with Esther Nelson | Touch | Together | LP | (Notes: "He disappeared from that scene, but for years he's been making what he calls "psychedelic children's records" where some of the sinister overtones remain. "Together" by Jackpine Savage (Haack's pseudonym) features a booming, overpowering voice (like threatening to destroy the Starship Enterprise) : "Now you must stop thinking." Later the same voice goes, "Now you can think again." "Because he mixes in psychedelic rock music, the album is not only clever but musically enjoyable." - Jello pg. 41 & 42) | 0:58:50 (Pop-up) | |

(Bonus Track) Bruce Haack | Haackula/Party Machine | Haacula | Party Machine is the bonus track on this LP.
