Had you told me that Charlies' Buttocks was from 1970 England or 1971 Germany, I would have believed you. Fantastic loud acid guitar, amplified sax, soft acoustic guitar and flute, tribal percussion and deep vocals. It's the blues-rock-jazz sound that was so popular during this era, and one of my personal favorite styles. If you like groups from Germany such as Nosferatu, Ardo Dombec, and Alcatraz or the UK bands like Diabolus and Raw Material, then this one is for you. Very energetic and superb release.
Ownership: LP: 2013 Shadoks
For over 20 years I just had a crappy bootleg LP of this (which I sold immediately), so I willingly paid the "Shadoks Premium" and bought the reissue, and I'm rewarded with copious liner notes and an overall fantastic job, as is their custom. No bonus tracks though. I'm sure I'll never own an original, and to be honest the cover... leaves something to be desired.
For such a great album, this one deserves a CD as well - and I will most certainly supplement this LP with a legit CD if one ever surfaces (not yet as of 6/10/24)
