For those with an appetite for bizarre recordings, here’s mp3s of the entirety of “the astounding, disquieting” 60s record ‘The Groupies,’ a collection of actual interviews with Manhattan groupies discussing their depraved post-gig activities.
It’s not quite what you would expect — sometimes the girl’s experience slips into tragedy, as when one of them describes a beating at the hands of a lover. But for those looking for a peek into the wild nights of the Age of Aquarius, this is it, raw and uncensored.
Since I love these sorts of things (The Buddy Rich Tapes are a favourite!), I downloaded it. It’s hilarious in a schadenfreude laden way, a guilty pleasure. Uncensored? Not any horrible words–nothing we haven’t heard on THING-FISH. I actually advise you get these for a good laugh.
