All of the records, ready to be neglected...
It should go without saying that Neglected Records as a blog will go neglected for some amount of time. As I'm moving back to the midwest for the summer, I'm going to be leaving my records on the east coast in an undisclosed basement as I don't know if the heat in my non-air conditioned apartment would get to be too much. But before they're all packed up, I figured I should write one last post before the fall.
The Fugs second, self-titled album came out in 1966. It's my understanding that the Fugs were some sort of group of beatnik types that had a maraca player, along with writing some lyrics that were "edgy." Songs like "Kill For Peace" have a low level of political correctness, but it's reminiscent of the Dead Kennedys (AMG might say that same exact thing...) However, the Fugs "hit", "Nothing", is not on this album, but the first one. While the album is quite enjoyable, it's still not the best album of 1966 (that is still the Monks Black Monk Time.)
Let's see, where did I find this LP? Ah yes.
It was in the fall or early winter of 2011 when NEC's Spaulding Library was doing one of their big sales. I found this and Elvis Costello's Get Happy!, for only a quarter each. YEP! ONE QUARTER EACH. How could I refuse? Well, life happened, finals happened, etc., and this is the first time I'm listening to it, and it's about time!
So folks, that's it for now and quite a while, but have no fear, these records will be neglected no more come late August.
Until then...
