Stack Waddy – Bugger Off! LP

Description

2022 restock. Trading Places present a reissue ofStack Waddy‘sBugger Off!, originally released in 1972.Bugger Off!picked up where its predecessor left off, and rampaged on from there. Covers ofZappa‘s “Willy the Pimp” and theKinks‘ “You Really Got Me” might have seemed a little obvious, but both are battered down with such a glorious lack of finesse that it’s impossible to object — anybody familiar with, respectively,Juicy Lucyand theHammersmith Gorillas‘ versions of the same songs will come in with at least a vague idea of what to expect, but that’s about it. “Hoochie Coochie Man” is even more disheveled, and whenJohn Peel‘s liner notes reminisce on the group’s insistence on recording live, you can tell he’s not necessarily looking back with any fondness. On one occasion, he suggested they do a little overdubbing. The band’s response to his words would become the album’s title. Includes “Mama Keep Your Big Mouth Shut” as bonus track taken from the 1972 John Peel Session. Licensed from Cherry Red.
