LP bonus track “Love At First Sight” first time on vinyl. New liner notes by John DeAngeles. “The Shaggs are like castaways on their own musical island” – Bonnie Raitt “The Shaggs convince me that they’re the real thing when they sing” – Jonathan Richman “They bring my mind to a complete halt” – Carla Bley When The Shaggs’ Philosophy Of The World came out in 1969, some people couldn’t or wouldn’t understand it. But many musicians, including Frank Zappa and Kurt Cobain, cited the Shaggs as a major influence. Heck, Zappa exclaimed they were “better than the Beatles!” NRBQ’s Terry Adams and Keith Spring were such fans, and after reissuing Philosophy in 1980 on their own Red Rooster label, Adams began work on a collection of recordings the Wiggin sisters had made in the years following their debut. The result was Shaggs’ Own Thing – a beguiling follow-up that reveals a more developed and mature sound while still retaining all of their homespun uniqueness. “The songs were better and they were recorded better, so it naturally made a better album,” Dot Wiggin said shortly after the original release of Shaggs’ Own Thing in 1982. It’s a “natural, organic extension” of the utterly original sound that The Shaggs had created, intentionally or not, with Philosophy Of The World, as John DeAngelis writes in the new liner notes. While Dot Wiggins originals like “You’re Somethin’ Special To Me” and “My Cutie,” and covers of classic songs like “Yesterday Once More” reveal a maturity not displayed on the debut, the two versions of “Shaggs’ Own Thing” and the revisiting of “My Pal Foot Foot” show that The Shaggs lost none of their pure and honest charm over the years. Remastered from the original tapes with liner notes by John DeAngelis, this reissue includes the bonus track “Love at First Sight,” first issued on the 1988 Red Rooster/Rounder Shaggs CD and appears on LP for the first time, plus three additional tracks on CD: “Sweet Maria” and “The Missouri Waltz,” first released by Light In The Attic as a limited-edition Record Store Day 45 in 2016, and the previously unreleased cover of the classic surf instrumental “Wipe Out.” Artist Shaggs, The Genre Rock And Pop Label Light In The Attic Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings You're Somethin' Special To Me Wheels Paper Roses Shaggs' Own Thing (Musical Version) Painful Memories Gimme Dat Ding My Cutie Yesterday Once More My Pal Foot Foot I Love Shaggs' Own Thing (Vocal Version) Love At First Sight (Bonus Track) Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Shaggs, The and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Shaggs, The Philosophy of the World Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Light In The Attic | 180g, 1LP Released 9th September 2016 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Shaggs, The Philosophy of the World £24.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Light In The Attic SKU: LITA151LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 9th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Associates, The Sulk (40th Anniversary Edition) Rock And Pop | BMG | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 15th July 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Associates, The Sulk (40th Anniversary Edition) £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG SKU: 4050538713893 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 15th July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Morrissey Low In High School Rock And Pop | BMG Rights Management | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 17th November 2017 £22.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Morrissey Low In High School £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG Rights Management SKU: 538337881 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 17th November 2017 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Mac Mccaughan The Sound of Yourself Rock And Pop | Merge Records | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 24th September 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mac Mccaughan The Sound of Yourself £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Merge Records SKU: MRG783LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 24th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mott The Hoople At The BBC 1970 LP Rock And Pop | 1960's Records | 1LP Released 28th April 2023 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mott The Hoople At The BBC 1970 LP £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 1960's Records SKU: RANDB120LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Moon Shot The Power Rock And Pop | ADA | 1LP Released 26th April 2024 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Moon Shot The Power £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: ADA SKU: 4255698500417 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cat Power Moon Pix Rock And Pop | Matador | 1LP Released 2nd July 2012 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cat Power Moon Pix £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Matador SKU: OLE2860 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd July 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dave Matthews Band Away From The World Rock And Pop | RCA | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 22nd October 2012 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dave Matthews Band Away From The World £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: RCA SKU: RCA543527 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 22nd October 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Peter Frampton Hummingbird In A Box Rock And Pop | Phenix Phonograph | 1LP Released 12th November 2014 £12.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Peter Frampton Hummingbird In A Box £12.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Phenix Phonograph SKU: PHP1541 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wedding Present, The Once Bitten / Kerplunk!
