Chains and Black Exhaust

Like wow. Get a load of all the heavy, noisy funk on this monstrous collection. "Showstopper" by Iron Knowledge is worth the price of admission, but Preacher's "Life is a Gamble" stands as a close second, and Gran Am's "Get High" is righteously inept. There's messy wah-wah abuse all over this thing, not the tight, clean, clipped rhythmic style you might be expecting but rather flaming amplifier wah-wah that melts conks and expands minds. Thanks to The Mystery Poster, whose blog is stuffed with bizarre home-cooked psych records so obscure that many of them don't even exist.
