For the past few years we’ve been working with everyone’s favorite outsider sister act The Shaggs to put together an in-depth reissue of their 1969 album Philosophy Of The World.
The story of The Shaggs is larger than life. It includes a grandmother’s prophecy, a driven father, three unassuming sisters, a cat named Foot-Foot, and perhaps the most polarizing album of all time.
Many talented fans of The Shaggs have contributed to this special reissue with liner notes by the legendary Lenny Kaye. A deluxe option comes on “Shag Carpet” color swirl wax with a Shaggs poster and enamel pin. Seth Bogart (Hunx & His Punx) designed a limited edition Shaggs t-shirt for the release, which is available as an add-on. The album is also available on black wax, CD, and digitally.
In addition, acclaimed animator Joanna Neborsky has created a new animated music video telling the story of The Shaggs (watch below), As an added bonus, there will be a number of Shaggs events this fall, including a Shaggs reunion show (details forthcoming).
Let's get weird!
