Teenage Spectacular is a 12" vinyl record album by DIY home recording pioneer and one-man band R. Stevie Moore, released in 1987.[4] It was the third of four RSM albums released by New Rose Records in Paris, France. Like 1986's Glad Music, Teenage Spectacular differed from most Moore record albums by being almost exclusively recorded in a professional 8 & 16 track studio.[5] Never officially reissued on compact disc, the expanded CD-R version is available by mail from the artist.

Critical reception

AllMusic called the album "a generally strong selection of songs boasting a broad array of styles, strikingly unusual and effective chord progressions, wry and clever lyrics, and inventive arrangements."[2] Trouser Press wrote that "the simple musical constructions on guitars, keyboards and drums reveal traces of Moore’s many influences — from the Beatles to Todd Rundgren to the Bonzos to XTC and back again — and huge chunks of his monumental creative grasp."[1]
