Kline Redback Album I'm a Monster Too

Turns out, Kline was a down-on-his-luck musician from the 1950s and ’60s who found a monster friend right when he needed one most. That friendship rekindled his spark and led to his signing with BLAPPO® Records in 1965 for the cult album I’m a Monster Too.

The songs celebrate monster friendship, the Monster Rangers, and the secret world of Monstru. After legal channels proved … unproductive, we “acquired” the master tapes from the BLAPPO vaults ourselves. This compact disc edition is fully faithful to the original stereo mix—though unlike the infamous first pressing, it is not made of black licorice.

Critical Response (1965 Press Clippings)

Liquorice Magazine: “This Kline Redback is a crazy cat! I dunno what the songs are all about, but man … tastes great! I’m a Monster Too! 9/12 stars.”

Beats Circus Magazine: “Redback’s folk album has a lot of heart—fun, good-natured, and confusing. Does Kline Redback believe in monsters? I do now!”
