The Gorgons "Ultra Vivid!" 2008

Garage rock band from Paris, France formed in the early 90's.Howdy - A slight mistake... This is called STRIP TEASE. Recorded in the nineties by the GORGONS the original master was left in a London attic for over 15 years. When HOG MAW approached the remaining members of the band in order to see if any olde original material had been recorded and never issued on vinyl or CD, their secretary and legal representative Rosenthal Munchenbart despatched a young Sikh going by the name of Sahib Singh Granth to fetch the lost tape in London. This proved succesful but upon his return the young man demanded more money than previously arranged and Munchenbart was heard saying : "you're Sikh you are!" which was followed by a loud blast and the man was never seen alive again. The tape was then given to the French fellow at HOG MAW RECORDS and later released to the amazement of a herd of dedicated fans. Strip Tease was the record that was left on the shelf for years, a posthumous homage to Childish, Link Wray and all 50's kitsch that the band was so fond of. Strip Tease was originally released on white vinyl and sold in all good record stores in France and Belgium as well as on the internet. Personnel is regular GORGONS chums Mitch the Bitch on guitar, Nob the Butch on the drums, Heartthrob Pat and his legendary nouille sucré as well as the inimitable Nit-nit on vocals. The album was recorded at the world-famous Toe Rag studios in London during a mega-munch session where no prostitutes where hurt during recording of said album. A recovered treasure and a complete gem of a record. Astrid Puchnoff the Australian Kangaroo - London 2012 oblivion66trax:

RYP and the Crew: Thanks to ALL for more great sounds of late, particularly the Suicide/Cramps related. Found this one in a “CHARIDEE” :-) shop today. Some good time sounds. Also found a bit of a shocker (imho) but with an odd version of “Stray Cat Strut” which may interest TZ types. It’s by a choir called Rudsambee. I’ve included the track on it the same link as Zippy been terrible here all week. All tagged etc.
