And General Dissatisfaction" ..|/\|...............................................|/\|.. USA - BROADSIDE RECORDS - 304
Here is a real prize from 54 years before ... regrettably, it will no doubt go over most collectors heads, per-se, however uncommon as it is to cross paths with a clean jacket, and this think is book thick (not made like this anymore) it contains the fabulous 4 page lyics insert. Only the second copy we've ever seen in this condition and we own the other copy in about the same shape as described below. THINK TWICE!
RARE "BROADSIDE" 1965 PRESSING
MEGA SCARCE ...very first = limited edition back 54 years ago...housed in a TRIPLE THICK cover ...completely different pressing from the one issued a few months later on ESP DISK
YES! It's the very first FUGS album containing key members of the HOLY MODEL ROUNDERS ....
If there was a rock underground in 1965, The Fugs were it. The combo —initially the work of vocalists Tuli Kupferberg and Ed Sanders, plus 'percussionist' Ken Weaver— would've never defined themselves as rock'n'rollers; they were poets, burnouts, beatniks, punks; impish provocateurs out to slyly satirize America by co-opting popular music form.
The Fugs First Album was largely recorded in one three-hour jam session in April of '65. It's clearly the sound of a bunch of beatnik and hippies having stoned-out fun.
The Fugs' 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. It's an utterly worthy release that pushed any number of 1965-era buttons at once (and could still tick off plenty of people). Some of the 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 and shouting on "Swinburne Stomp."
