After the success of Walter (now Wendy) Carlos's 1968 album SWITCHED-ON BACH, the record industry experienced a brief surge of cash-in moog exploitation albums. Some of the best of these include The Moog Machine's SWITCHED-ON ROCK (Columbia Records), The Electric Concept Orchestra's MOOG GROOVE (Limelight Records), and THE HAPPY MOOG! (Pickwick Records).
