SISÄLTÖ:
"The girls heard on this LP report their actual life experiences, feelings and opinions within the pop music scene." Voice of the Groupie Girls about their bands. 

It's a series of interviews with actual groupies about the whole groupie phenomenon. The girls and women recorded here are equally charming, perceptive, filthy, hilarious, and pretty self-aware. Producer Alan Lorber uses some simple but fantastic stereo panning and loops from time to time. 

Way back in the groovy era, Alan Lorber decided that the world needed to hear groupies talking about what they did with band members. It's supposedly a sociological documentary, y'know, harrumph, not a piece of titillation.

The resulting file sounds exactly like Frank Zappa's Uncle Meat, even down to the New York accent (as opposed to Classic Groupie, which is LA speak). It differs from Francis the Z significantly in that absolutely no one uses a chicken to measure it. For some strange reason, the English (as they call the British) come out the worst in the perv stakes. How can that be?

At this remove, it's useless either as a documentary or as wank fodder. It's fun if a) you like Uncle Meat or b) you like 1969 in general. It's not fun if you c) believe humans have innate dignity or d) think feminism has had any impact on human behavior. I thought it was quite depressing, but remarkably interesting.

Warnings: For the first few minutes of each side there's an incredibly irritating echo – ooh, I mean far out sound effect, man. It settles down after a while.
