Ugly Things #60

Great article, as much about nature of memory, hindsight and myth-making as about Reed + Cale + The Primitives.
I enjoyed the section on the bootlegs too - do you think there are really only 800 copies of Evil Mothers?

Brilliant article!
After unsuccessful searching for Ugly Things in Amsterdam [even Concerto didn't have it...] and The Hague, today could buy my copy in Utrecht. In the Plato shop, there also were some previous issues, so herewith highly recommend that shop to the Dutch here.


PS: have checked through all 6 Vogue issues from 1964.Nov.01 to 1965.Feb.01, and can herewith conform that there's nothing [no photo nor text] about The Ostrich from The Primitives. Checking made me wonder how anybody could even think that something from the Pickwick bunch could have been published in that magazine...

I'm pretty sure that "Evil Mothers" was repressed in the mid 1980s. Maybe 800 copies of the original?

Around 1984, according to Olivier's site, and I remember seeing copies in record fairs around that time, having previously just heard of it and never seen it.

Thanks, yeah, Discogs says

"There was a reissue around 1984 with different matrix numbers (EM-1-A/B) but otherwise identical to the original pressing except a stronger cover, deeper blacks of sleeve, different shade of label color and greater weight of the vinyl"

I never knew this before, I can't remember when/where i got it, but checked my copy and it's the original

mine is the reissue and I got it in early 1985 iirc

There's a Lou Reed article in the new issue of Ugly Things #61. Any idea what's in it?

Just found that Phil was interviewed in the Ugly Things podcast about his article in UG #60
