Lux & Ivy's Favorites #10 (remaster)

 

With Kogar the Swinging Ape

Here is the remaster of Lux and Ivy’s Favorites Volume 10. This is one of my favorite volumes.  At around this time I had kind of hit the wall when it came to finding songs they mentioned. I believe this was 2008, as best as I can determine. Around this time Howie Pyro sent me scans of tapes that Lux had made and that he had gotten copies of. He had forgotten who had given him the tapes. Howie had laboriously gone through the tapes and determined what the tracks were. What year that was, is lost to time, but way before the internet could’ve helped out. I’m sure there was a lot of trial and error.  Howie had become fascinated with my project and we became friends, partly, because of it. He was always so excited when a new volume was coming out, and was always happy to help ID songs, which he did numerous times. Thanks as always to the King of the Weirdos…

This volume has a good amount of jungle oriented tunes, some tassel twirlers, rockers and other stuff that influences my show to this day.

This volume’s cover is, again, laid out by Adam Fitch from my idea. He was able to magically adapt the original lettering from the 45 sleeve of Los Mortíferos EP from Spain. The ONLY way you can get some of these songs on 45 RPM! Of course, Los Mortíferos, are The Deadly Ones, who released ONE amazing LP called It’s Monster Surfing Time on Vee Jay Records. Some of these songs have appeared on other volumes because Lux used some of them on the Purple Knif Show (on LAIF 5, 9 and 15).  Since those volumes already had covers, I decided to use the image here because of the Mummy’s Bracelet which appears on this volume, and let’s face it, it’s just a cool as hell image…

Volume 11 will be next, and THEN (bongo roll!) the newest volume, number 18 will rear its moss covered skull! Until then enjoy this remaster of Volume 10.

Lux and Ivy's Favorites Vol. 9 (remaster)

 

With Kogar the Swinging Ape

Here is the remaster of Lux and Ivy's Favorites Volume 9. Only two more to go until the volume 18! Not a lot to report with this volume. I cleaned up the sound and added the killer cover image that I’ve wanted to use for a long time. The original image is from the amazing record called PSYCHEDELIC DANCE PARTY by the Vampires Sound Incorporation.  Around the time this volume came out The Cramps were using Sex And Mystic Of M.Sade as their intro music for their live performances, which you can hear on the first track.  The original song is pretty long, so this is an edit of the music they used as their intro. The song is from the film Tender Flesh aka Boccato Di Cardinale directed by Jess Franco. Speaking of Franco, I figured at the time, this would be a good volume to include the song The Lions and the Cucumber from one of Lux and Ivy’s Favorite films; Vampyros Lesbos.  Since then, Lions and the Cucumber has become really well known because of its inclusion in Tarantino’s film, JACKIE BROWN.  Prior to that it was mostly known by Franco fans and fans of vampiric psychedelic soundtracks.

I’m forgetting the person that helped me find a nice high quality scan of the original cover. Please remind me who you are! So I can thank you properly!

Adam Fitch did the layout and was able to find the font as well to really round out this volume! Thanks Adam!
