      AMG Review
      At the time of its release, the Fugs' second (self-titled) album contained the most outrageous lyrics ever heard on a Top 100 rock & roll LP. The group, with roots in New York's underground folk and poetry scenes, flung themselves wholeheartedly into all-out rock & roll on this 1966 record, which addresses concerns like free love, the madness of war, and government repression. The CD reissue of this classic includes two previously unreleased live performances and three tracks from the unreleased album they recorded for Atlantic in 1967.

      AMazon Review
      Marginally more commercially folk-pop than their Allen Ginsberg/Harry Smith-produced debut, the Fugs were still fuzzed-out intellectuals who, loved to wallow in the sludge on this second LP from 1966, which features such social treaties as "Dirty Old Man," "Skin Flowers" and "Kill for Peace". The expanded band can even get Velvets-pretty on occasion. (Lee Crabtree plays celeste, for god's sake.) All Fugs records are essential anachro-poetic late-beat documents of core members Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg, even when they slicked up for a major label. The CD includes some live tracks, as well as some outtakes from an aborted session for Atlantic. --D. Strauss
