“Sounds of Discipline”

Yes, this is real. Out of Anvil Studios, Hollywood, CA. A sticker on the back says:

“WHIPSMEN, WHAT DID IT TAKE?” “Well, we took a leather strap, two riding crops, a cat ship, two lengths of heavy rubber hose (ed. note: dare I go on!?)… a buggy whip, and a torture rack. We put them in a dungeon alive with swingers. From there came the sounds of pain and pleasure. So here it is: You will have fun with it. Some people just like to listen to it!”

Not a “pretty” cover really. Beat to hell. From Mexico. There’s little aesthetic appeal here. Not really much “art direction” to speak of. Maybe an interesting low vantage point angle. Can’t speak to it musically but it’s intriguing.

Sometimes I try to image the record store and then house that a used record came from before I found it. A small dusty Mexican apartment with a cheap hi-fi set, torn curtains by an open window. Maybe the guy worked at a factory and came home with a bottle of beer and a goat taco he bought on the street; unlocked the door, pulled the light cord, opened his beer, switched on the stereo, placed the needle on the record, propped up the cover and had dinner alone.
