Notes
Limited vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition. Includes liner notes by legendary musician, writer and compiler, Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith, Nuggets). In 1968, three sisters from Fremont, New Hampshire strapped on their instruments and declared themselves The Shaggs. At that moment begun a peculiar tale that would last far beyond the group's five-year run. Dot, Betty and Helen (and occasionally Rachel, the fourth sister) played in the group on the insistence of their father, Austin Wiggin Jr., who was convinced they were going to be big. The Shaggs entered Fleetwood Recording studios in Revere, Massachusetts to record their sole album, Philosophy Of The World, a collection of garage rock tunes that balanced charm and discordance in equal measure. Austin would spend most of his savings not only on the session but also on the manufacturing costs to press up 1,000 copies of the album (900 of which mysteriously vanished upon completion). The album failed to fulfill Austin's expectations of rock stardom, though the group remained together until their father's death. That might have been the end of it, until rock band NRBQ discovered a copy at a Massachusetts radio station and re-released it in 1980. Rolling Stone's reviewer at the time described it as "the most stunningly awful wonderful record I've heard in ages". Nearly 50 years later, the album ranks among the most polarizing LPs of all time. Some said it was the worst thing ever made. Others felt it was one of the great long players of the 20th century. Frank Zappa famously dubbed the band "better than The Beatles", while Kurt Cobain placed the album at #5 on his list of Top 50 favorite albums. Decades later and one could argue that maybe Austin was right all along. We're all here, still enthralled by the purity of The Shaggs.
