The recordings for this Stampfel/Lewis magnum opus were wrapped up way back in 2018 but remained in a top secret vault.
Now, like that Wu-Tang Clan album which only exists as one physical copy (you know, the one that sold for $2 million in 2015) this is a one-copy-in-the-world double-vinyl gatefold LP, it’s on 10-zillion-karat gold-plated vinyl (as can be obviously seen in the pix here), and just to top the Wu’s world record price, we are selling this one-of-a-kind double LP for $2 million and ONE dollars.
However, since $2,000,001.00 might be a little pricey for you, as a special deal for the hoi polloi we now offer the entire double LP as a download on Bandcamp for a more affordable price.
HEAR! Perhaps the final full-voiced recordings of the great Peter Stampfel before his pipes were diminished by dysphonia.
HEAR! The Lewis/Stampfel Band live favorites “Black Leather Swamp Nazi” and “Cajun Polka” and others which were such hits on our tours of 2013 and 2015!
HEAR! Our audacious acoustic attempt at Marquee Moon, and other such hubris!
HEAR! Many other and sundry sonic gems herein! Four sides of 10-zillion-karat gold!
Download comes with full liner notes PDF.
