The Fugs - Electromagnetic Steamboat: The Reprise Recordings [Rhino Handmade, 2001]: X (X)


Not going to grade this, but I did give it four plays. Also not going to get it, since it’s mostly their four Reprise albums [Tenderness Junction; It Crawled Into My Hand, Honest; The Belle of Avenue A; and Golden Filth]. I won’t grade these individually either. Plus it’s too expensive. I also didn’t listen to the mono version of TJ, or the one or two other ephemera/misc. articles on the box set. So this is basically a batch review, without grades, for their four Reprise albums. They range from “liked” to no higher than 7.5 (high B+) and so would be #folk/protoantifolk anyway. I find them mainly irritating, and puerile, honestly.
