]]> Honeymoon Killers “Turn Me On” 1987. Buy Our Records. Noise-rock via New York/New Jersey, Turn Me On is the band’s fourth studio LP, this one particularly notable for Cristina Martinez on guitar (and some vocals). She must have been only around 16 years old at the time; a couple of years she later joined Jon Spencer to form Boss Hog (their EP Drinkin’ Lechin’ & Lyin’  from ‘89 also features Honeymoon Killers’ founder, guitarist and frontman Jerry Teel). As noise rock, Turn Me On is definitely noisy, full of distortion and growling, but it also has a dark psychobilly/campy horror movie vibe, especially on tracks like “Dolly w/a Dick,” “You Thrill Me,” “Fingerlickin’ Spring Chicken” and “Octopussy,” making the album far more melodic – catchy at times even! – than a lot of other noise rock albums. “Choppin’ Mall” is particularly great, with a Bo Diddley-esque rhythm and a harmonica solo that portends the punk blues sound of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (Mr. Judah Bauer!). Punk blues with a lot of crazed feedback and distortion is also present on “Dazed ‘n’ Hazey” (a great track!). I’m not as fond of the less melodic noise rock track “Flophausen” but other than that I’m super-psyched to have this record in our collection (it’s a recent acquisition, found on Record Store Day when our local record shops bring out the really cool stuff).

]]> Pussy Galore “Pussy Gold 5000″ EP, 45 rpm, 1987. Buy Our Records Inc./Shove Records.  Recorded in ‘86 and released in Jan. ‘87, the single pressing of 3,000 sold out in one month. This would be the band’s last release on their own Shove imprint (co-released with NJ hardcore label Buy Our Records) before they signed with Caroline later in the year.

We picked up a 2014 reissue of this album over this past holiday weekend, but the one pictured here is an original pressing (the vault, being what it is, we kinda forgot we had it). 5-song EP, featuring 4 original trashy punk tracks and one cover song, performed live, “No Count” by Ty Wagner.

Pussy Galore’s lineup changed frequently during their recording years of ‘85-’90 and this iteration features Jon Spencer on vocals and guitar, Julia Cafritz on guitar and vocals, Neil Hagerty on guitar, vocals and drums, Bob Bert on drums and metal, and Cristina Martinez on guitar and organ. I believe this is the last released recording that Cristina played on before joining Spencer in marriage and Boss Hog in ‘89 just prior to the breakup of Pussy Galore.

Reading indie label run-off groove scratchings is always a delight: this one reads Side 1 “Take lots of drugs” and Side 2 “Kill indscrimmately” (yes, it’s misspelled, though not sure if on purpose or not).
