SCARCE as MINTY CLEAN ... historic NYC underground rock legends - as in West Coast Mothers Of Invention MEETS East Coast, THE FUGS!
Here is a very clean 1965 pressing STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY CELLOPHANE Known as the 1965 "reissue" to its earlier '65 Broadside Records release predecessor. The item you may soon hold in your hands is hardly a reissue as you know it, rather a change of labels issue (Broadside to ESP) in the very same year of 1965.
Nonetheless, regrettably, it will no doubt go over most collectors heads, so it goes, however uncommon as it is to cross paths with a clean jacket in cellophane and vinyl so mint!
YES! It's the very first FUGS album containing key members of the HOLY MODEL ROUNDERS who would go on to do strange things in their own rite.
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."

There are no split seams, no bends, no writing....no delete marks == ultimately collectile
The vinyl: Rated: all very clean, M- top copy, heavy weight platter is super clean so expect to have purchased a record playing as it did when first released in 1965. Very enjoyable deep groove audio without alarming problems ... and has clean ESP labels. ....
