1976 / 1977: The Studio Recordings

On the occasion of the Gizmos' 30th muffday, Gulcher is semi-proud to present 1976/1977: THE STUDIO RECORDINGS. This release collects the original Gizmos' three EPs, along with eleven previously unreleased outtakes from the two sessions. The 16-page CD booklet contains mostly unpublished photos, Richard Meltzer's original liner notes for the first EP, and extensive liner notes by yours truly Eddie Flowers. Thrill once again to these classic odes to teen sex: 'Muff Divin',' 'Cave Woman,' and 'Pumpin' To Playboy'! 'That's Cool (I Respect You More)'! 'Chicken Queen' and '(I'm Just A) Regular Dude'!? And don't forget the pleasures of gluttony ('Human Garbage Disposal'), TV ('Mean Screen'), rockabilly ('We're Gonna Rumble'), and underground kulture ('Hey Beat Mon!')!!! Salute the flag to 'Amerika First' and then burn it! Stolen riffs, broken hearts, cheap booze, inside on the top and outside on the bottom the Gizmos will never die!!! The disc also includes guest appearances by MX-80's Rich Stim and Johnny Cougar Mellencamp (no kiddin'!). -Slippy Town
