ALBUM REVIEW
A loping, ridiculous, and scabrous release, the Fugs' debut mashed everything from folk and beat poetry to rock and rhythm & blues -- all with a casual disregard for sounding note perfect, though not without definite goals in mind. Actually compiled from two separate sessions originally done for Folkways Records, and with slightly different lineups as a result, it's a short but utterly worthy release that pushed any number of 1964-era buttons at once (and could still tick off plenty of people). Sanders produced the sessions in collaboration with the legendary Harry Smith, who was able to sneak the collective onto Folkways' accounts by describing them as a "jug band," and it's not a far-off description. A number of songs sound like calm-enough folk-boom fare, at least on casual listening, though often with odd extra touches like weirdly muffled drums or out of nowhere whistles and chimes. Others, meanwhile, are just out there -- thus, the details of the perfect "Supergirl." Then there's "Boobs a Lot," the post-toke/acid lament "I Couldn't Get High," and the pie-in-the-face to acceptable standards of the time, "Slum Goddess." Throughout it all, the Fugs sound like they're having a perfectly fun time; the feeling is loose, ragged, but right, and while things may be sloppy around the edges, often that's totally intentional. Certainly little else could explain the random jamming and rhythmic chanting/shouting on "Swinburne Stomp."
ATTENTION:
This marks the beginning, alphabetically, of a huge collection, of radio station stock.
I have amassed literally thousands of pieces of vinyl and CDs.
All must go, you can't take it with you, at least I can't.
Many one of a kind items, not available commercially.
I encourage multiple wins. Cost S&H, nothing added, honest.
I'd rather send five items to one seller, than one item to five.
Looking for a certain item, E-me, I might have it, and will list it. Or buy it now.
All packaged professionally, to prevent damage in transport.
I use record mailers for vinyl, and bubble envelopes for CDs.
Please keep watching, ALL MUST GO!
