FUGSVirgin Fugs
1967 UK FONTANA (STL 5501) FIRST PRESSING OF VIRGIN FUGS
THE THIRD AVAILABLE RELEASE FROM THE BAND BUT CHRONOLOGICALLY THEIR EARLIEST MATERIAL FROM 1965
AMAZING CONDITION - POSSIBLY NEVER BEEN PLAYED
OFTEN DESCRIBED AS THE FIRST TRUE UNDERGROUND 'ROCK' BAND, THE FUGS WERE NOT A MILLION MILES FROM FRANK ZAPPA AND THE MOTHERS MATERIAL IN THE MID/LATE 60s (ie irreverent, political and full of sex and drugs references)
The Fugs have long been associated with the literate and liberated denizens of the post-beatnik Greenwich Village.
While their best-known recordings are the widely available sessions that were issued as the Fugs First Album and Fugs Second Album -- much of their legend and outrageous lore can be found on the lo-fi D.I.Y. long-player Virgin Fugs (1966).
While it is their third released album, it consists of outtakes from the two 1965 sessions for their first album.
While that album emphasised the second recording session, this compilation favours the first, making this arguably their chronologically "real first" album.
It was released possibly without the foreknowledge or permission of the Fugs and their site refers to it as a bootleg, though it was officially distributed through the same channels as their authorised previous ESP album
