The Residents - "Baby Sex" (unreleased tape) 1971

(This was the last post on Die or DIY? 1 before they deleted/suppressed it.Maybe this upset somebody in the 'Rock' Glitterati , or some Record company Paedo, or a procurer of schoolgirls for corporation executives who moonlights with the DCMA?)

Well you can't get away with this these days,unless you're called Jimmy Saville,Gary Glitter,Rolf Harris,Ken from Coronation Street,Freddie Star.....the list continues to grow. 

In the light of that hideous prick from the Lost Prophets(an arrestable offence if ever there was one in any case?) being convicted for the attempted rape of a baby???????I was reminded of this Residents bootleg that has been sleeping on my computer for years.No,it doesn't glorify  paedophilia(I hope!), but it is interesting to hear the nascent Residents in very home DIY mode,revealing their influences openly. The original sleeve has been censored to avoid me being arrested,and my blog deleted,and replaced with a much improved version of the Led Zep II cover. (A version of Whole Lotta Love can be found on track 2.) Which is very appropriate as one Jimmy Page was well publicized as 'running off' with a 14 year old girl in the 70's. Why hasn't he been arrested? Dunno where to start with Bill Wyman!

In fact I am sure the majority of 'Rock Stars' (brown stars) of the 60's,70's, were almost certainly guilty of historic cases of statutory rape.Even more upsetting,because of his place in my musical adolescence, John Peel, openly recounted his affair with an underage girl in his biography; and also used to joke about not having sex 'anymore' with schoolgirls live on air!!!! This occurs on one of the many tapes I have of his broadcasts;needless to say I was shocked when i recently relistened to this show!

In the 80's I remember some 14 year old girls I knew of (not intimately I may add forcefully!) who 'bragged'(?) about having sex with fully grown men Simon Le Bon and John Taylor, of the lamentable Duran Duran. Please Operation Yewtree, save us from these evil predators and their awful pied piper style musick!

But, this has nothing to do with The legendary Residents, and this very interesting ,but flawed tape of their early development into one of thee most original groups of musicians ever!
