DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Welcome to the future that never quite arrived...
Percolating circuits, pumping valves, and delirious Space-Age Pop!
Recorded in New York City in 1969, 'The Happy Moog' is the great 'lost' Jean Jacques Perrey album.
Waxed for the budget Pickwick Records label, the LP was the creation of Moog virtuoso Perrey and renowned jazz percussionist Harry Breuer (though Jean Jacques could not be credited at the time, as he was under contract to Vanguard Records). Kindled by friendship and a fevered desire to explore, 'The Happy Moog' offers a delightful melange of crypto-Ragtime melodies, berserk tape-manipulation interruptions, and Technicolor absurdist triumphs.
Originally imagined as a children's LP, the final result held a timeless reverie of surreal optimism, futuristic soundscapes, and sophisticated arrangements.
Cut in a purpose-built 4-track studio with rhythms programmed on the then state-of-the-art Rhythm Ace drum machine, 'The Happy Moog' is a quasi-psychedelic explosion of Moog mayhem and retro-futurism.
The entire LP has been remastered in 2025 and is sounding better than ever before. Comes with an enclosed exclusive CD that includes the full album, plus, as bonus tracks, an entirely unreleased album, previously unreleased charming vintage commercials recorded by Perrey in 1970, and an extended interview segment!
Moogs at eleven, set for blast-off into Space-Age Synth Heaven!

from 40 reviewsMy daughter is delighted with this cassette!
Received item as requested, no issues at all. Would order from this company again
LOVE the design! And packaging was fabtastic - truly a wonderful gift (for myself!!!!)
Plays great, looks super cool! This music (and movie) are deeply special to me, so glad you had this on vinyl!
This item came perfectly wrapped and sealed, helix sounds is an amazing seller and I would gladly buy from them again
For all fans, this is a must-buy. Especially hooked by the track Wind, which is the very first ending of the anime.
This album sounds as good and hits as hard as it did when it was released! Extra fun getting it from Helix Sounds, they always have the best stuff :)
The vinyl in great condition got here when expected and sounds amazing
fast service & quick response, Good+
I got this for my husband as a gift and he really loved it. Great sound and beautiful color. I’m so glad I got this vinyl.
Beautiful vinyl. Good price. Came packaged well.
Really happy with the vinyl box set. It was sent quickly, well packaged and made it to Australia unscathed 😊
Came exactly as described and in perfect condition, the best shipment service on vinyls I’ve ever had. Fast and accurate, I’ve had records ordered for almost a month with another store and these guys continually beat out all other stores for shipment. I just ordered again from them, highly recommend.
The album arrived well packaged, in impeccable condition. Love the service. Love this album!
Great shop, I can only recommend it.
