Product Description
From Amazon.com
Marginally more commercially folk-pop than their Allen Ginsberg/Harry Smith-produced debut, the Fugs were still fuzzed-out intellectuals who, loved to wallow in the sludge on this second LP from 1966, which features such social treaties as "Dirty Old Man," "Skin Flowers" and "Kill for Peace". The expanded band can even get Velvets-pretty on occasion. (Lee Crabtree plays celeste, for god's sake.) All Fugs records are essential anachro-poetic late-beat documents of core members Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg, even when they slicked up for a major label. The CD includes some live tracks, as well as some outtakes from an aborted session for Atlantic. --D. Strauss

I remember buying Tenderness Junction and It Crawled Into My Hand , Honest on the Transatlantic label about 30 years ago!. They were remaindered so I got them really cheap! I wish I still had them now, quirky, crazy, funny, lascivious, anarchic and on the button. Occasionally they cut tracks with chart-potential (Turn On Tune In Drop Out from Tenderness Junction & Crystal Liaison from It Crawled...) but I loved tracks like the live chant outside the Pentagon when they tried to levitate it ("Out Demons Out"!... yes, the same chant picked up by Edgar Broughton for his 'big hit single'). Great stuff. But then I loved the Deviants too, so what do I know?

A gem, ploughing their own furrow etc. Lyrical and charming yet the same thing as with the so-called First Album CD release: a track from another album which deserves its own release.
What is that album? The truly magnificent 'It Crawled Into My Hand Honest'. Wide wide river.. are we never to have released the whole of that marvellous operatic work??? Ramses the Second may be dead but he's not happy.
Four stars again - one less for the implied non-appearance of a great album.

I'm not objective about these guys at all, in my book it just doesn't get any better than this, The highlight is "I'm a mutant" a proof of Ed Sanders humour and sexual liberation. Also Tuli's "morning morning" and "kill for peace" all classics. I could rave all evening about The Fugs. I could also write 500 mails a day to Ed and Tuli just saying thanks.
My heroes! My Favourite band! and yes! they even hail the great group groupe on this album...

Poetical mayhem
Rough and ready muic with some good harmonies thrown in, tunes and lyrics designed to enrage the establishment and have the FBI on their case, great stuff

Anarchists of the peacefuls sort let loose on an album...
Out of tune, but poetic and crazy in a way that is almost forgotten nowadays. Raw power and energy and some sort of messages, but not to be taken very, very serious, just serious... Read more
