Description
Liner notes by legendary musician, writer and compiler, Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith, Nuggets). Booklet features unseen photos and ephemera. Artwork restored and expanded. Newly remastered. #5 on Kurt Cobain's top 50 favorite albums. In 1968, three sisters from Fremont, New Hampshire strapped on their instruments and declared themselves The Shaggs. At that moment begun a peculiar tale that would last far beyond the group's five-year run. Dot, Betty and Helen (and occasionally Rachel, the fourth sister) played in the group on the insistence of their father, Austin Wiggin Jr., who was convinced they were going to be big. Years earlier, Austin's mother gave him a palm reading, predicting that her son would marry a strawberry blonde woman, that he would have two sons after his mother died, and that his daughters would form a popular music outfit. The first two became reality, so Austin was certain the third would follow suit.

This joke has gone on way too long now.

Remastered at last! Finally all the nuances that were lost in earlier versions will be made crystal clear in this new release.
