Title:
The Holy Modal Rounders
Label:
4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format:
LP
Price:
$19.00
Catalog #:
4M 183LP
180 gram vinyl. "Originally released in 1964 this is the debut album from Greenwich Village's strangest folk revivalists. At odds with the tired rehashing of folk tunes that was so in vogue at the time, the duo of Peter Stampfel and Steve Weber took traditional material and obliterated it. In the words of Peter Stampfel
'The Rounders were the first really bent traditional band. And the first traditionally based band that was not trying to sound like an old record.'
And thank God for that. Remastered from the original tapes, the debut from the 60s folk revival biggest outcasts. Classic."

continues the Rounders' obsession with reinventing folk music traditions, taking public domain material and flipping it, in both arrangement and lyric, with masterful, off-kilter playing. Remastered from the original tapes, the second album from the '60s folk revival's biggest outcasts. A must." On 180 gram vinyl.

"The year 1967 proved to be a strong point of the '60s generation culture and the ever-growing New York underground music scene with the likes of David Peel & the Lower East Side, The Velvet Underground, The Godz, The Fugs, and the Holy Modal Rounders. The music is reflective of the time, and would prove to be the setting of a musical foundation for the group." Digitally remastered. Manufactured in the USA by the original label.

The Rounders first electric outing from '67, and the only one to feature their most cosmos-expanding lineup (including playwright Sam Shephard). This is the sound of speed-shooting hillbillies discovering the secrets of life in the sewers below the Peace Eye Bookstore. Loose, psych-out, folkish stumble, a perfect period piece. Peter Stampfel (electric fiddle, vocals), Steve Weber (gtr, vocals), Lee Crabtree (p, org), Shephard (d), Antonia, Barbara & Wendy (vocals). 140 gram red vinyl version.

SC 5126LP
"Led by maverick folksters Peter Stampfel and Steve Weber, the Holy Modal Rounders fused Greenwich Village strum and Appalachian drone with enough mind-altering chemicals to derail the Wabash Cannonball. Here's an exact 180-gram vinyl repro of their hideously rare 1968 masterpiece, which spotlights such drug-addled ramblings as 'The Bird Song,' featured in the
Easy Rider
soundtrack."

"First time on Compact Disc -- after being held for ransom by merciless record collectors for decades, the Holy Modal Rounders' rarest album
Good Taste Is Timeless
can now breathe the sweet air of freedom! Rounders' founders Peter Stampfel and Steve Weber -- the godfathers of anti-folk -- fire every cap pistol in their satchel for this clat-tering, jugband-on-acid classic, cut in Nashville in 1971 with guest artists Tracy Nelson (Mother Earth), D.J. Fontana, and pedal steel legend Pete Drake. Featuring the definitive version of Rounders gonzo ditty 'Boobs A Lot,'
Good Taste Is Timeless
now sports fascinating new liner notes by Stampfel, and remains the pinnacle of the Holy Modal Rounders' art."

WATER 101CD
"The 1968 Holy Modal Rounders' only album for Elektra Records is a cult classic. No acid folk album mixed inspiration and lunacy in as downright deranged a fashion as
The Moray Eels Eat The Holy Modal Rounders
. As strokes of mad genius go, it was a winner, managing to just about walk the tightrope between art and chaos. A melange of mind-melting acid folk that might have hung together by a thread, but was usually exhilarating, with a cracked, brain-damaged mystique all its own.
The Moray Eels Eat The Holy Modal Rounders
was, in its own way, just as steeped in Americana as any of the ancient Appalachian folk records from which Peter Stampfel and Steve Weber had learned much of their early repertoire. Available on CD for the first time. Includes 2 previously unreleased bonus tracks. New detailed liner notes by '60s music historian Richie Unterberger."

WATER 130CD
"Calling the Holy Modal Rounders 'legendary' is an understatement. Peter Stampel, Steve Weber and company were the original 'acid folk rock' band. This 1971 previously unreleased live radio broadcast, captures these wild and wacky visionaries at their peak. Includes their two biggest 'hits' -- 'If You Want to be a Bird' (featured in the
Easy Rider
movie & soundtrack) and 'Boobs A Lot' (not politically correct, but still very funny). There's also a song by former Rounder and legendary playwright Sam Shepard and a Johnny Otis tune thrown for good measure as well. This expanded seven piece version of The Rounders cover rock, latin, swing and everything in between during this nearly hour long show -- all through a good time, beatnik haze."
