Extremely rare vinyl LP by The Deviants on the US Sire / London label with the original gatefold cover.

The fine AllMusic web site says of this album: “Plenty of psychedelic groups of the late '60s embraced a sunny outlook of peace, flowers, and consciousness expansion, but some took a harder line on upending the straight society they sought to replace, and like their spiritual brethren the MC5, the Deviants (under the first-among-equals leadership of writer Mick Farren) saw their music as a vehicle for a Total Assault On The Culture. The only trouble with this was the Deviants' ideas were often quite exciting.  Farren has claimed that he and his bandmates were flying on speed during most of the recording of Disposable, and a wacky mutation of "Surfing Bird" and "Wipe Out" called "Pappa-Oo-Mao-Mao," the defiant "Slum Lord," and "Somewhere to Go," the only extended jam on the LP find a groove and move. Disposable is fascinating as a document of the U.K.'s anarchist hippie scene and where it went both right and wrong, but as entertainment, you're a lot better off looting a supermarket."   Note:  Just FYI, thishas been a three figure LP for close to two decades.  A rare one, for sure.

Note:  Do not let the CD digital reissue / remastering fool you.  These analog tracks are the exact way The Deviants wanted their friends and fans to hear their music.  You can bet your ass The Deviants would not appreciate digital regurgitation. 

Stored vertically in a smoke-free environment for 49 years.  If you are not impressed with the smoke-free thing, by all means let me know and I’ll smoke as I package it for mailing.
