ROLAND S. HOWARD / LYDIA LUNCH
Shotgun Wedding
(1972) Used LP $6.00 (Out-of-stock)
The high priestess of macabre rock and assaultive poetics says it best (no surprise there): “Shotgun Wedding is a sassy scrapbook of bruised love songs, somehow buoyant in spite of its obsession with death.” Indeed, the guests at this wedding are ghastly phantoms and shifty junkies, but the chemistry between Lunch and Howard on this 1991 recording produces deviant bliss. Jacket has a crease on one corner, platter is near mint.
