The Fugs - First Album (1965)

The first ten tracks of this one, I believe, were the original Fugs album, the next 11 are bonus tracks added on a 1993 reissue. Hard to say much about this record...it's weird and excellent and funny, but you can still take it seriously (sometimes). I think the songwriting is fucking superb, but the performance is so unusual. I think if the term had existed, they would have been pegged "outsider." Whatever the fuck that means.
