    Well, sort of The Fugs first album - this same album had been released about eight months earlier on Broadside Records with an unrememberable title when it was picked up and released by ESP-Disk in 1966. These guys crawled out of the Peace Eye Bookstore basement on the Lower East Side of New York City and changed a certain segment of Rock & Roll forever. Rock could be literate and still be rebellious! And Rock could be unpolished. The Fugs, along with their label-mates The Godz, were the beginnings of a lo-tech revolution still raging against the over-produced corporate Rock where the money is.

    LINE UP - Ed Sanders, Tuli Kupferberg, Ken Weaver, Pete Stampfel, Steve Weber (these last two guys went on to become The Holy Modal Rounders) and joined by studio musicians John Anderson and Vinnie Leary.
