This is great ! It´s the Johnny Otis show in disguise... explicit lyrics ! Thank you now I don´t have to put on my vinyl when I´m too lazy..
This is a great fun album and highly recommended for a good laugh. It is the Johnny Otis show and Delmar "Mighty Mouth" Evans rules these sessions with his wit and fine singing, also some excellent guitar from Shuggie Otis.
This sounded familiar to me, and I realized I had it with its original (this one is an alternate release) cover- it's easy to see on Discogs- which looks like it was drawn by R. Crumb, but it actually was drawn by Johnny Otis hisself! :)
Discogs gives this version as an American release but it is in fact a UK release. Flyright also released the lp with yet another cover but with the same labels and catalog number as this lp. On this version there is no mention of it been a Flyright release on the cover. My guess is that it might be an earlier version from Flyright but this based on nothing.
I remember when this was first released and I saw the ads for it in Living Blues & Blues Unlimited. It had the cartoon cover that Skinnymon mentions, that looked like R. Crumb artwork. I'd never seen the cover on this copy posted here before and my hunch is this was a boot. There were loads of boots with ultra cheap covers coming out of England back then.
The posted version has a standard quality UK cover from that period. I've compared the Discogs scan of this LP to the 45worlds.com scan of the Flyright label and they seem to be the same.
Whatever it is it's great fun to listen to.
So this is where "Hey Shine" comes from? Have a cassette tape of it mixed in with a bunch of other unidentified stuff, and have always wondered about its provenance.
Any chance of a re-up of this gem
Many thanks

please reup
Many thanks
Google the album and look for a high res scan of the cover's interior. WHEW!!!!
when the original Kent LP came out in 1969 we knew it was Johnny Otis etc...not too long after the release The Johnny OPtis SHow was doing a college gig not too far from where I lived at the Cal State LA Gym...as they started playing me and my buds up front started yelling "Snatch & The Poontangs"...Johnny started laughing and turned to Shuggie and Delmar and said "We're busted!" Dem were da daze!!!
