Description
The Shaggs SUPER RARE debut LP "Philosophy Of The World" on Red Rooster/Rounder Records with catalog # 3032. Truly a collector's item in the realm of obscure rock and punk bands. The Wiggin sisters carved a unique niche in early alternative music with this self-recorded gem.
Vinyl rates a VG+
The cover has a Promo cut upper right corner as well as a few seam splits and some corner wear.
"The guilelessness that permeates these performances is simply amazing, making a virtue out of artlessness. There's an innocence to these songs and their performances that's both charming and unsettling. Hacked-at drumbeats, whacked-around chords, songs that seem to have little or no meter to them ("My Pal Foot Foot," "Who Are Parents," "That Little Sports Car," "I'm So Happy When You're Near" are must-hears) being played on out-of-tune, pawn-shop-quality guitars all converge, creating dissonance and beauty, chaos and tranquility, causing any listener coming to this music to rearrange any pre-existing notions about the relationships between talent, originality, and ability. There is no album you might own that sounds remotely like this one." - All Music Guide
