PEEL, DAVID & DEATH
KING OF PUNK (MONO-TONE RECORDS)
Ultra-cult LP from 1978 by Lower East Side provocateur David Peel, the missing link between tribal-folk-skronk (Fugs, Godz, etc), 70's street rock, and nihilist-squat punk! Featuring irresistible choruses over walls of fuzz! Caveman chords repeating ad infinitum in a primal call to a stone-age god! Backed by fifteen rhythm guitar players, nearly as many bass players...
and a cowbell! Lyrics so outrageous & over the top music so loud that you have to hear it to believe it! Peel, who shared '60s stages with John & Yoko, The Stooges, and MC5, had a small hit with "I Like Marijuana", released albums in the 70's such as "The Pope Smokes Dope" and "The American Revolution" decides to outpunk the punks in '70s NYC and show the Ramones, the Dictators or the Dead Boys who the King of Punk really is! And all the while answers (in 11 minutes) the pressing question: "Who Killed Brian Jones?!"
