Mr Groovy
Gratuitous guru of the groovy glee-club, Hugo Montenegro created hipster fuzz-moog
lounge renditions of late 1960s pop confections and his own film score masterpieces.
Best known for his 1968 worldwide #1 hit version of “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”

of music profound, spiritual and supremely theatrical. Here for the first time on
one CD are two of his very finest “concept” albums (both originally issued in 1967)
