New Orleans Jazz Festival   Turk Murphy Columbia Records   THE New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival started in 1970 with performances by Mahalia Jackson and Duke Ellington, Pete Fountain, Al Hirt, Clifton Chenier, Fats Domino, The Meters, The Preservation Hall Band and included parades every day with The Olympia Brass Band and Mardi Gras Indians.   I’ve been to “JazzFest” six times since 1990 and plan on returning this year in April.   I’ve seen everyone from Stevie Ray Vaughan and Bob Dylan to countless blues, soul, gospel and zydeco acts over the years.   It’s a music and food and good time orgy of non-stop fun.

Here’s a three-disc set of sex records that until recently was on my want list.   Thanks to Tony for tracking down this set for me!   Sick.   Depraved.   Morally bankrupt.   Sleazy.   Slutty.   Real life swingers!   Horny suburban housewives!   Sex-crazed neighbors lusting after tennis club MILFs.   Swap-hungry cougars ready to throw their keys in the bowl and hook up at Friday night orgies.   Hear the “actual sounds” – “sighs, moans and feelings of sexual love in many of it’s variations.”   On KONTACT Records.   You couldn’t get these at your local Discomat or Sam Goody’s – these were strictly behind-the-counter, sex shop buys or back-of-men’s magazine mail orders.
