"The Shaggs were three sisters, Helen, Better, and Dorothy (Dot) Wiggin, from Fremont, New Hampshire. They were managed by their father, Austin Wiggin, Jr., and were sometimes accompanied by another sister, Rachel. They performed almost exclusively at the Fremont town hall and at a local nursing home, beginning in 1968 and ending in 1973. Many people in Fremont thought the band stank. Austin Wiggin did not. He believed his girls were going to be big stars, and in 1969 he took most of his savings and paid to record an album of their music. Nine hundred of the original thousand copies of "Philosophy of the World" vanished right after being pressed, along with the record's shady producer. Even so, the album has endured for thirty years. Music collectors got hold of the remaining copies of "Philosophy of the World" and started a small Shaggs cult. In the mid-seventies, WBCN-FM, in Boston, began playing a few cuts from the record. In 1988, the songs were repackaged and rereleased on compact disk and became celebrated by outsider music mavens, who were taken with the Shaggs' artless style. Now the Shaggs are entering their third life: "Philosophy of the World" was reissued last spring by RCA Victor and will be released in Germany this winter. The new CD of "Philosophy of the World" has the same cover as the original 1969 album-a photograph of the Wiggin girls posed in front of a dark-green curtain. In the picture, Helen is twenty-two, Dot is twenty-one, and Betty is eighteen. They have long, blond hair and long blond bangs and stiff, quizzical half-smiles. Helen is sitting behind her drum set, is wearing flowered trousers and a white Nehru shirt; Betty and Dot, clutching their guitars, are wearing matching floral tunics, pleated plaid skirts, and square-heeled white pumps. There is nothing playful about the picture; it is melancholy, foreboding, with black shadows and the queer, depthless quality of an aquariam. Which leaves you with even more things to wonder about the Shaggs."

WBCN existed in the 70's? That station is pretty old.

kind of a velvet underground-ish appeal. I saved their tracks and plan to play them for more "dark" friends that're into that kinda thing.

Anything to be strange, eh? I wonder if they meant to be completely FREAKY!!! ???
