I mean, they were inexperienced musicians basically forced by their delusional, superstitious father to shit out an album. And that's exactly what it sounds like. It only has the legacy it does because the of the outsider element to it. It's fascinating for one listen but not something I'd want to own on vinyl and definitely not "essential" in any way.

Philosophy Of The World Exclusive LP
A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing. 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...

My guess is German Oak - Down in the Bunker for a one-off psyche record. Obscure, but fairly well known in Kosmiche circles. It has had a few limited reissues as well.

The story behind the Shaggs is so much better and more interesting than anything the Shaggs ever actually released.
Put me on team Top Drawer.

I would jump all over Top Drawer.
I will not be receiving the Shaggs. I don’t care that I planned to be a VMP Essentials completionist for a year as an experiment. I was willing to accept some of the picks I didn’t care for - Experience Unlimited and Africa Brasil - in order to expand my musical experiences and maybe taste.
But I don’t want to expand them as far as the Shaggs.

Hard pass if it's The Shaggs.
Top Drawer, however, intrigues me.

If it’s Top Drawer’s Solid Oak, i’ll definitely give it a go. I can imagine really immersing myself in this release when on high-quality vinyl!
There’s something unique about this Top Drawer album. It sounds religious, reminds me a tiny bit of Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black and a bit of Tame Impala’s Lonerism. The vocals have this reggae touch to it and although the music is still very rock, it’s funky and holy and reminds me of an cute, outdated, ugly bar that still has character that you’d find in Red Dead Redemption!

Completely respect the Red Dead Redemption reference!

Absolutely stunning record but there is no way Now Again would allow them to re-issue it after putting it out on their subscription service.

my guess is whatever psych rock album Stoned Ape suggested to them that’ll be instead attributed to a random Discogs search that makes no sense

The upcoming month's Essentials pick is going to be "the most crate digger album ... this year" according to storf, who added that it was on a label that only released that album according to discogs.
I think we're getting this one.

The Shaggs sound like something a cannibal serial killer would play while he bastes me before he puts me in the oven to cook me.
