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.
