(I know this is just more of an indie cred/protest issue, but if you can find the used Touch & Go copies, you're a better man/woman for it (and slightly more rich). The Butts kinda did to that label what the ex Dead Kennedys did to Jello Biafra...)

shakey mo sounds knows what he's talking about, but i think youll be happiest with the great mid 80s trilogy material ("rembrandt pussyhorse" "psychic...powerless" and "locust abortion technition")hairway to steven isnt quite as good in my opinion, and stay way clear of anything after that. also, i'm not sure humpty dupty lsd really is a good career overview, it's more an odds and ends thing.
also seek out CREAM CORN ep, hard to find tho.
definitely agree with donut bitch, don't buy from latino bugger veil!!

I remember geting super wasted driving around austin with my best friend who was a stripper at the time singing their version of American Woman over and over again.
Saw gibby around in his hot rod a few times too. The austin scene was kinda tight and we shared dealers from what i remember.

But Amazon UK says it's been deleted. Should I just get Hairway To Steven and have done with it? (I've never heard HTS btw)

Also, Zoogz's music is vastly better than the BH Surfers' music and this counts because this is music that we are talking about.

Zoogz, on the other hand, is seriously talented at a Zappa-type level. And that doesn't just mean goofy complexity all the time. Like Zappa, he was also just plain talented at writing good tunes (plus arranging, having a really tight band that sounded good, etc.).

No sound! What? The oscilating, slow burn of two drummers and a million layers of psych feedback with super low pitch vocals, swirling around the audience -- are you kidding me? They were loose in the best possible sense.

Though you can still order the LP from them.
It's from the era when they had two drummers, the topless dancer with glasses and king tut beard, an out-of-control smoke machine, and were projecting car accident and sex change operation films into said smoke. So you miss the visuals. But it gets point across pretty well.

I assumed that at first, but since when do they show stickers on the mockups with the record coming out of it?
Maybe it is, but messing with the music is my main problem with it. Part of the appeal was getting proper versions of these but I can't say that's the case now. And if they're willing to cut a song, who knows what other alterations there may be. I get being... embarrassed, maybe the Surfers themselves wanted the song removed. But for a B.S. song that has the word "negro" in the title, it could be a lot worse. Why not just change the title to "Observer?"
"I Wanna Be Black" isn't the best Lou Reed song but I'm not buying a version of Street Hassle that doesn't have it.

the remasters are very good though, heard the download versions and they're definitely improvements over the 1999 (?) reissues.
