Additional information
A TEENAGE OPERA includes music by Mark Wirtz and Keith West. Personnel: Mark Wirtz (vocals, keyboards); Nick Lowe (vocals). Recording information: 07/1967-07/1968. Arranger: Mark Wirtz. "A Teenage Opera," like the Beach Boys' infinitely more celebrated Smile, was never truly completed as such; collectors have always wondered, however, if the project exists as a "lost" album of sorts. This 23-track sequence of tracks by Keith West, Tomorrow, Wirtz, Kippington Lodge, the Sweetshop, Zion de Gallier, and Steve Flynn (some previously unissued), is as close an approximation as can be delivered. The psychedelically-influenced baroque rock-cum-easy listening arrangements are interesting, but really this is too twee and precious to qualify as anything like a lost masterpiece. Nor is it much of an orchestral pop suite; it's more a grouping of songs with a similar sunny fairyland vibe, sounding like an in-progress version of a children's rock record. You're far better off hearing "Teenage Opera," "Sam," and the Tomorrow cuts -- which are the gutsiest and most durable selections here by a wide margin -- on RPM's The Complete Keith West compilation, or the original (and only) Tomorrow album. ~ Richie Unterberger

Curiousity satisfied.
I remember the hit track by Keith West from when it came out and it was a classic. I waited years and years for the whole thing to come out, and waited.... There are some interesting tracks on it, but a lot of "fillers" as well, basically instrumentals backing type tracks. Good insert with details of the music. Still, if you are like me and enamoured of the 60's and wondered what happened to this project, now's your chance to find out.
