180 gram vinyl reissue on get back. classic re-issue. it was 1967, and all things seemed possible, we wanted the world and we wanted it now. vietnam was getting ugly and lsd-25 was hitting the headlines. to make ptooff!, i'd hit up an alcoholic kid millionaire who'd inherited his old man's real estate empire at age seventeen. (he'd later finance an abortive marxist revolution on the island of trinidad. after that, his family got together with government and had him locked up in the big clinic.) the grand plan was to cut, press, package, and distribute ptooff! to freaks clear across the planet. the ptooff! sessions were only the second time i'd set foot in a recording studio. the first had been a bizarre encounter with some fake bob dylan tunes in the key of e that i'd hacked out on my hofner acoustic for a denmark street hustler with designs on my young, amphetamine skinny body. we, the deviants, embarked on our voyage of the damned with no record company, no restraining hand, no real idea of what we were doing. we were also highly confused. we'd been raised on gene vincent, phil spector, and the pretty things. the fugs had convinced us that incompetence could prosper, and the first mothers of invention records had hit our radar like a bad alien spacecraft. some say the cover of the album was a bigger hit than the record. the original fold-out was six feet square, silk screen printed at the same factory that turned out indecipherable posters for hippie freakouts. dj john peel wrote the liner notes.
