PUSSY GALORE - Exile On Main Street LP

Originally issued on cassette (in an edition of 550 copies), this fanclub LP was taken directly from one of those original cassettes. The band, whose best known members, Jon Spencer and Neil Hagerty, went on to form, respectively, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Royal Trux, rose out of the New York 1980s noise and trash rock scene that spawned Sonic Youth and Live Skull. Named after a sexpot in the James Bond film 'Goldfinger,' Pussy Galore deconstructed the muscle car that is rock & roll until all that remained was a pile of spare parts on a mechanic's floor. The tape begins with a benediction from P.G. member Julia Cafritz, which sets the tone: "Hello I hate your ... guts, ... you I hate your ... guts. I hate your ... guts. I hate your ... guts. I hate this ... machine, I don't know how the ... to use it. I hate your ... guts. I'm going to make my ... music." What follows is a complete cover of the ROLLING STONES "EXILE ON MAIN STREET." Pussy Galore ruin the album, and in doing so, create something nearly ... perfect. 
If you are a fan of the Stones' original version of "Exile," you will either hate Pussy Galore's chaotic attempt with a burning passion, or you will see that buried within this wobbled, sloppy, barely legible song cycle is the kernel of truth that Pussy Galore totally nailed it 100%.
