We also have original pressings of George Brigman's "Blowin' Smoke" 45 and the "Silent Bones" EP available for sale!
Limited edition Noble Records reissue!
Permanent and RidingEasy teamed up with Dillon from Noble Records to get this legendary Proto-Punk private pressing repressed! Lance is a HUGE fan of this record and has an original pressing of the LP hard filed in his collection in between Chrome's "Half Machine Lip Moves" and Michael Yonkers' "Microminiature Love". This is a must-own Acid Archives masterpiece! The kind of record acid-laced dreams are made of. It sits in the sweet spot between psychedelic rock, proto-punk, and wasted blues rock on the private press vinyl Venn diagram. It's one of those records that everyone, especially folks intrigued by that description, must hear before they die. Not hearing it, might actually kill you ;)
"George Brigman recorded Jungle Rot, an underground classic, at only 18 years old. He was massively influenced by Tony McPhee of the Groundhogs, Captain Beefheart, Harvey Mandel, and Johnny Winter. Jungle Rot is a bizarre, raw, brutal, acid fueled, fuzz guitar ripper! Original copies fetch $1,000+.
Recommended for fans of Groundhogs, the Stooges, Blue Cheer.
This reissue by Noble Records includes an 8 page booklet with an interview with George Brigman." - Noble Records
But you don't have to take our word for it. Here's the review aQuarius Records wrote for their 2013 list (I can't believe it's been over a decade since the last reissue of this LP):
"This is a vinyl reissue of a rare-ass 1975 private press lp
from Baltimore that anyone who digs, say, Michael Yonkers should perk
up their ears at. It's THAT sort of outsider psych obscurity.
Guitarist/vocalist George Brigman, a teenager at the time we're pretty
sure, was definitely into such underground (back then) influences as
The Stooges and the Velvet Underground. This record consists of
fierce, fuzz-fueled punk rockers, lo-fi blues, and VU-inspired
melancholia - a downer vibe typified by such songs as "It's Misery",
"Worrying", and "I'm Married Too". There's more of the latter, so
don't get the idea that this is Raw Power part II or anything. But the
Stooges moments, like the killer title track, ARE super Stoogey. So
imagine an unholy, amateur, low-budget blend of Iggy, Lou Reed, and
some Nick Drake too. Sounds good don't it? It is pretty great."
