1973 RARE FIRST PRESSING COLLECTIBLE
KIM FOWLEY
International Heroes
...USA -Capitol Records- ST 11159
MINTY CLEAN VINYL
ORIGINAL 1973 first pressing...Gotta be one of his rarest ...the madcap Hollywood scene-ster at his most bizarre...
Includes the hard to find LYRICS inner sleeve...
This was waxed around the time he produced legendary recordings by the Modern Lovers so it’s no surprise that this is one of the best albums from the ubiquitous Kim Fowley. Son of actor Douglas Fowley, one of the "in" Hollywood music heads of the 60's & 70's; Fowley produced the novelty hit “Alley Oop” in 1960, then went on to release some commercially unsuccessful but wonderfully entertaining solo albums, produced and wrote more oddities for other artists and eventually unleashed Runaways on the world. And that’s just to name a few. He even found time to write songs with Skip Battin, which were recorded by the Byrds (Untitled LP) and Gene Parsons.
Those who’ve worn out their copies of Roxy Music/Eno/Bowie albums will be thrilled to exhume this forgotten (or never really even known) specimen of oddball glam/undergroundrock. Judging from the cover, he didn’t want to leave anyone guessing about the sound he was shooting for. This platter plays like an instant classic, falling into some no man’s land somewhere between Roxy Music, New York Dolls and trashy underground rock. Like Eno, he’s often playing post-punk years before it existed, but Fowley’s songs are looser and more accessible, sure to get you hooked on the first spin. “Something New” is simply a perfect pop song with a great update on a Byrdsian jangle feel. “I Hate You” is a gloomy slice of contempt that’ll leave you feeling good about your shitty mood. There are nice female soul/gospel backings throughout. “Dancing All Night” rocks like a garbage can bound outtake from Sticky Fingers.
International Heroes is another exceptional rocknroll record that never CD release. The original vinyl sounds better anyway.... Good luck finding any cheap copies on ebay.
