Word on the street
Word Records presents “The Addicts Sing” (Nine former addicts)
“Girl with Cat’s Eye” (I’m assuming that this is just a awkward translation and that she doesn’t have just one cat’s eye but “cat eyes”. But she seems so sad. Cat eyes can be exotic and quite nice. It’s not a disease or something.) Regardless I like the graphics.
David Peel and the Lower East Side “Have a Marijuana” Recrorded Live on the Streets of New York. 1968. This is the debut record by New York street musician and John Lennon protege David Peel. Peel plays guitar and sings (mainly about marijuana), it’s all live. Fugs parallels are hard to avoid and there is the same type of parody here – “I Like Marijuana” actually got kind of popular – it’s a parody of “I Like Peanut Butter” “Show Me the Way to Get Stoned” is a killer, nothing bad on here at all, a great piece of underground wildness caught on tape.

A BLIMP, a WHIMP and a SKIMP. “On a Rocket Trip to the Moon! Via Skyway’s Rocket Ship From Your Launch Pad” Featuring Miss Louis Lewis. Skyway Records. 1964. This is crazy!
This cover brings to mind those little propeller submarines I played with as a kid in the bathtub. I think I bought them from the back of a comic book or something.
