Artist:	WILSON, GARY
Title:	Forgotten Lovers
Label:	FEEDING TUBE RECORDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	FTR 065LP

First vinyl issue of this collection of rare and unreleased material by one of the most iconoclastic musicians produced by the 1970s. Gary Wilson's 1977 LP, You Think You Really Know Me, is a classic of alternate-universe lounge-wave, and has been cited as choice by everyone from The Residents to Beck Hansen. Forgotten Lovers includes unreleased studio tracks from the same period, subsequent singles tracks, as well as samples of Wilson's pre-You Think You Really Know Me records (a single and an album) which were more in a porn-soundtrack/jazz-funk vein. Gary has reanimated his career in the last decade, and we raise our hats to him for doing so, but this early stuff is really the donkey's eyelids. A classic bizzaro-world blend of various "real people" elements and explosive new wave dynamics. As rich as butter, you'll want to spread this music on your torso to promote tanning.

"Rarely in the history of American music has such a cult developed from just one album, but Gary Wilson's 1977 proto-New Wave masterpiece You Think You Really Know Me was no ordinary record, sucking unprepared new listeners in like a drug and never letting go. LA's Stones Throw label, better known for its world-class new and old Hip Hop and Funk roster, has a team of long-term fans of Gary, so it is with great pride that they present you his first recordings in over a quarter of a century. The intervening years don't seem to have affected Gary's twisted, funky genius one bit, nor dulled the sheen on his perverted electro-lounge-jazz."
