Charles Manson ‎– "All The Way Alive" (People's Temple Records ‎– PT133) 2003

Studio recordings recorded on 9/11 1967 by the,then recently released rather than recently deceased jailbird and instant Hippie that became known as Charles Manson.This is his Black album,or at least,and more accurately, his 'Smell The Glove'.
Manson seemed to come out of prison aged 33 as a fully formed Hippie,talking the talk and walking the walk,like he was playing a role of a 'Hippie' in a Dirty Harry movie. This is how he had spent his former existence, taking on roles to manipulate situations to his own advantage. No-one seemed to notice he was over a decade older than any other Hippie at Haight-Ashbury, and silly middle class fools enthusiastically fell at his feet, basically because the Beatles were otherwise engaged.
"Hey, I write songs man", said the hip looking sexual predator at the party. "Wanna Listen?".....er no, but he whips out his Acoustic and plays the fuckers anyway.
Thats the kind of fool Chuck Manson was in 1967,and as always happens, young lost girlies swooned.
These recordings were made when Charlie was slightly less demented,and less of a Gobshite,and hadn't consumed enough LSD to believe he was Jesus yet,or as he so eloquently put it the 'Son of Man'.
He also hadn't yet inspired his drugged up followers to slaughter innocent persons to start the race war that would lead to himself taking power after the blacks fuck it up......this was actually his genius plan!? Helter Skelter maaaaaaan!......what a deranged tit, maaaaaaaaan!
The interview from these sessions reveal the nascent Gobshite that we all know and,if you're smart,dispise.
He does actually speak the kind of jumbled bullshit that a modern Jesus would say;so maybe he was the second coming after all.Thank fuck we didn't execute him after all, or we'd all be walking round with a mini gas chamber hanging on a chain round our necks,worshipping the 'Son of Man'........some of these fuckers do actually exist now as we speak.

Charles Manson ‎– "Commemoration" (White Devil Records ‎– WDCD 3 10666 2) 1994

For fear of starting a new murder cult in praise of George Best lookalike, Charles Manson. Here's one of his most coherant and listenable recordings, made at the Vacaville Medical Facility.
There are some slightly unhinged moments where he appears to be losing it somewhat.Lots of sweary words and suggestions of innocence.Y'know the usual martyr somplex that populate such secure mental facilities.
So if you're one of those suggestable flowers who would welcome Charles Manson as your new personal saviour, and kill for him, look away now.
This collection of Manson's nut house recordings,made between sept 1982 and sept 1984,was put together by yawn-some apologists called Michael M. Jenkins, and James Mason.
Like Manson, they think he is some kind of Philosopher and freedom fighter,a prisoner of war(!?),they say in the hilarious liner notes, and was fitted up by the iluminati to silence his truth.
Ironically this is subtitled 'Commemorating Sixty Years Of Struggle Against Cowardice, Stupidity And Lies.'. The cowardice being why Manson got others to do his killing for him. The lies being everything that comes out of his rancid pie-hole that never seems to stop talking.....primarily about himself,and,of course 'Them'.
The Stupidity, must refer to his inability to understand that to be guilty of conspiracy to murder doesn't necessarily require you to be present at the scene of the crime. The source of his catchphrase of Dude "I didn't Kill Anybody" Maaaaan! And even more stupider because he was placed at the scene of the LaBianca murders, at which he even re-tied the victims because his followers hadn't tethered them together properly enough for Charlie.Duh!

Charles Manson ‎– "The Way Of The Wolf" (Pale Horse Incorporated ‎– PH0013) 1999

The thing about hippie with guitar music, is that you're supposed to listen to the words maaaaan,listen to the wooooooorrrrdddddddsssss!
Certainly Chuck thought of himself as a philospher and a poet, but its just sounds like a jumble of confused nonsense to me......don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with confused nonsense, in fact I love confused nonsense maaaaaaaaan. As long as the purveyor of such nonsense doesn't think he's Shakespeare ,Plato and Che Guevara combined. Which Charlie ,being a mentalist with delusions of grandeur, does...or,did, being dead'n'all mutherfuckers!
Nearly everything Charlie Maddox says or sings has one wondering what the Fuck is he going on about!?
Of course, his 'fans' will say 'that's because its way above your head maaaaaaaaan.Too deep for your mother fucking mind to comprehend'. I dig that Manson is against the man maaaaan, and their system maaaaan, and an environmentalist as well as just a mentalist.That's why he uses the paranoids catchphrase 'They' a lot when he tries to explain who his imaginary enemy is. 'They' being the 'Man' and other obvious forces of oppression.
I very proud to say that 'I ain't Cool' to this garbage,but the environmental kick is something everybody should be into, even cult leaders or mass murderers.
This album contains more Manson Music and some bonus conversation recorded on cassette in jail in the 1980s, and smuggled out to sell to useful idiots like me.It's just interesting to get an insight into the mind of a maniac,and a peek into the prison existence of a lifer.The banality of the 'Prison Coversation' that concludes this collection,is intruiging.The phrase, 'The Banality Of Evil' was used to describe Adolf Eichmann,but it can easily be applied to Charles Manson also;but what else does one do during ones incarceration?
I notice he talks about 'The Ranch' a lot.If only he didn't conspire to kill innocent people and start a race war he would still have been on his ranch,playing his chugging hippie folk tunes to adoring dumb young ladies and even dumber males.
But whats certain is that no-one would have ever heard his music,or even his name outside of 'the Ranch', not even The MAN, maaaaaan.

Charles Manson ‎– "Saints Are Hell On Earth" (TPOS ‎– TPOS 032) 1988

At the vast expense of the American taxpayer, we bring you the despicable Charles Manson feeding his ego and still commiting heinous crimes against music, while encarcerated in an American correctional facility. Not that he ever did, but he never had to work again,while at the same time still chase his dream of being a pop star......well,at least to be an unpopular star,which he undoubtedly is.
Recorded in 1985 in San Quentin Prison, California.The sleeve notes state that this recording was recorded under imperfect conditions and had to be smuggled out and that technical limitations are quite apparent.

Manson, nee Maddox,probably saw himself as a repressed anti-social artist who has been jailed to stop his messages of revolution spreading dissent across the civilised world; like a scummy Plastic People Of The Universe, but without the talent or the right.

What right this creepy twerp had to even have a guitar in the big house is as crazed as one of his frequent demented telephone monologues to local radio stations.Especially as the authorities knew what crimes he was capable of with such a blunt instrument in his hands.

These eleven wobbly country flavoured peons to himself,with a constant backing of murmuring inmates, are among some of the strongest arguments for the reintroduction of the death penalty I have yet heard.

Charles Manson ‎– "LIE: The Love And Terror Cult" (Awareness Records ‎– 2144) 1970

Under instructions from old jailbird buddy Charles Manson, Phil Kaufman released this album of songs by everyone's least favourite Hippie as chuck awaited trial.
The cover is a parody of 'Life' magazine's edition on the Manson murders......who says Hippies don't have a sense of Humour?
This kind of smug long haired protest folk is the best argument i have heard yet that Manson should have been executed without trial,preferably beaten to death with an acoustic guitar.
As for the turds who have recorded numerous cover versions of these shit songs, like probably the worst carbunkle on the arse of pop themselves, Guns'n'Roses, and other lesser twats; I hope your exceedingly crap back catalogues 'Cease to Exist',just as your counter-cultural hero has.
"People Say I'm No Good" warbles Manson.Probably the most accurate phrase he ever uttered.
The sad thing is that if some record company man had said this stuff was good,fed his pathetic ego,and signed him up, Sharon Tate,her baby and the other victims would still be alive,mirroring Hitlers rejection from Vienna's School of Art.
Somewhere in Hell there's a super group with David Koresh on lead Guitar and Vocals, Charles Manson lead Vocals and Rythm guitar, with The People's Church Choir providing the backing.....now that would really be a Hell to be truly feared.Especially if they were doing an endless medley of U2 and Guns'n'Roses obscure B-sides!!!!!?

The Manson Family ‎– "The Manson Family Sings The Songs Of Charles Manson" ( TPOS ‎– TPOS 084) 1970

What has the world possibly got against Hippies?
The answer is right here on this joyful run through of some of Chuck's greatest, non-murderous, Hits.
Charles,himself doesn't appear on this one as he had other engagements at the time.......he was in Prison.
So,what we have here are the dumbasses who made up Manson's family of middle class misfits.
Hippie culture was the perfect vehicle for horny manipulators to get young ladies into bed and get the superfluous males to procure more young ladies and kill for them if needed.
Manson thought of himself as some kind of musical genius,and the evidence is here, and on other recordings, that he certainly was absolutely not.
He was, However, an esteemless short-arse who grabbed the opportunity of 'Free love and Flower power' to form a group of worshippers that made lickle Charlie feel good about himself,'cus he never had proper mummy and daddy......ahhhh, poor Charlie.

Alex Sanders ‎– "A Witch Is Born" (A&M Records ‎– AMLS 984) 1970

"Alex Sanders is the most powerful witch in Britain. Here, for the first time, he presents a full recording of the solemn initiation of a new member into the ancient Craft."...it says here.

He's the bloke on the cover who looks like a former homeless alcoholic who's moved on from begging for small change outside Sainsburys to taking his clothes off to initiate attractive young women."

Luckily, we don't get to see Alex full frontal, as he conducts the ceremony in sound only, with totally inappropriate lush string sections singing merrily in the background, chugging out Wagners 'Ride  Of the Valkyries', like a binned episode of 'The Onedin Line'.Up front is the hilarious whispering commentary by Stewart Farrar as if he was describing a Royal wedding, or a Snooker match.

Sanders: "Blessed be thy Breasts formed in Beauty"

Farrar: "He kisses the left Breast and the Right Breast"!?

Yep, religions are all invented by dirty old men alright.

The naked young woman called Janet(? the witch?) then gets tied up and lashed by the the nude former-pisshead. I think i'm going to be sick....just check out those pictures on the cover,like a Wiccan copy of Health and Efficiency magazine.

This ceremony is soooooo old and ancient that,like the Bible and God, the Wiccan tribes spoke in 16th century Shakespearian English.

God and his counterparts was seemingly very English.

Barbara, The Gray Witch ‎– "Barbara, The Gray Witch". (DEA Records ‎– 1D-1001) 1970

I could have sworn that was Mick Ronson on the cover, but no,I was very much mistaken, its a Gray Witch called Barbara, or is it pronounced Brabrah? The Gay Witch???
Phwoooarrrrr....'Witchcraft has never looked better' it says, maybe Brabra should change her name to The Bottle Blonde Witch, to suit her Prostitute Chic image....very saucy.....or should I say, sorcery?
Brabrah is exploting her cheap sexuality to lure dunbass men, like a Sex Worker Pied Piper, to the black arts, or in this case, the Gray Arts, and I don't mean to take part in a pensioners painting class.
Of course, Gray witches are a balance between White Witches,or 'Good'Witches, and Black Witches,which are, predictably,'Evil' Witches.
Anyway,these very very ordinary people aren't really Witches, they just say they are to make them feel 'special', to enhance their low self-esteems.Its all rather silly in fact. Especially 'Cool' witches like the lovely Brabrah.
Music-wise, there are a few strange songs scattered between Brabrah's hip-witch talk that seem to have an early electronic score by Stockhausen as a backing track.Rather good I have to say.....or have I been bewitched by Brabrah's dulcet tones,or wicked spells?
Yes mistress,I'll give it Four pentagrams out of Five for effort.Now... GET OUT OF MY MIIIIIIINNNNNDDDDDDD!!!!!!

Gundella ‎– "The Hour Of The Witch" (Top Of The Needle Records ‎– AR 1877) 1971

If you're chubby,with a face like a back end of a bus,and have low self-esteem,the fast bus lane to some kind of dilussional cure is to make yourself feel special by pretending you've been abducted by aliens or you have access to special information that no-one else has,like talking with God, or, you can say that you're a Witch.
To listen to this record all the way through is akin to a witch trial.If you die while you listen you're obviously NOT a witch, but if you survive, you almost certainly are, and should be burned alive.
Yes, Grundella is,apparently, 'a Witch'. Decended from the Green Witches of Scotland,but now (as in 1971) resides in Scotlands twin city of Detroit.
The lack of job prospects,and an over consumption of Alcohol and Drugs in both places led to a plethora of unemployed shitkickers to claim they are Witches, or Wizards, or,more dangerously, Singers.
The spells on this album seem to echo Gundella's main problem in life,which is how to snare a Man,and/or Love.
I must add a word of caution if you are tempted to conjure up a new Boyfriend or Girlfriend; be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it!

Well,track one is like the theme music for a Cool Exorcist TV Series,the star of which,someone like Huggy Bear, is filmed, hip-walking down the street like a jive assed John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever mother fucker, for the next smokin' Hot case of demonic possession. Did this exist, or am I possessed by a funky demon?
If it didn't, it should have.
"Leave this body you funky demon motherfucker.....Get OUT...Get OUT...and get Doooooowwwwwwwwnnnnnnn...back to Hell...Praise the Lord!"
The rest of the album of this DIY guide to self Exorcism isn't so dope however.Lots of mumbo jumbo about the Lord JC and shit.But if you've got a demon that needs to be removed(haven't we all?),and you're not a christian,or can't afford a professional, or even just mentally Ill?

Graham Bond ‎– "Love Is The Law" (Pulsar Records ‎– AR 10604) 1968

Following the dissolution of The Graham Bond Organisation, our Graham went to the USA to try and 'make it.'
After a struggle,and few gigs, Pulsar records offered to release an album.The result of which was this Crowley-esqely titled record, "Love is the Law",on which they somehow managed to spell his name wrong!?
Crowley also said, "Every man every woman is a star", except Graham, it seems, as the record bombed. There was not much call for chubby pop stars in the valleys of LA, which would explain why he became a permanent fixture at Mama Cass's house.
"Where's my Graham!", she could be heard screaming when he wasn't there to suck up to her.
Bizarrely they both met an early death in London within a couple of weeks of each other in 1974!In her case, no, she didn't choke on a ham sandwich as pub legend prescribes;but, strangely, she did die in the same room that Keith moon also expired in a few years later.
Had they been dabbling with the Dark Arts? ...we'll never know. I'll dig out my Waddingtons Ouija Board to ask Graham directly.......He said "Not the dark arts, it was the dark arse"......sense of humour intact then Mr Bond? Even in the after-life,hell or whatever?
This album is his most commercial attempt at extoling the virtues of Magick,backed up with the finest Californian session musicians.
A very soulful psychedelic blues outing that, if made by someone more photogenic would have hit the billboard chart at a healthy  number 666.
After one more ,Magick-less album,his visa expired and was required to return to the UK (i.e. Kicked out), where he went onto much stranger and darker things.Eventually ending up as Ginger Bakers's side-kick in Ginger Bakers Airforce.The ultimate humiliation.

Graham Bond ‎– "We Put Our Magick On You" (Vertigo ‎– 6360 042) 1971

As appaling Paul Daniels used to say....."Now, That's Magic", noticably without the 'K', and this album certainly is Magical.
The Mighty Shadow himself, Graham Bond, wants to put his Magick, with a 'K', on us. Very nice of him, but he could have tried putting his magick on himself, then he would have been the pop star he so openly craved to be,and not the roadkill he became under the wheels of a subway train three years later!
The cover shows us that his wife(Diane) was determined for a second time to place the various musicians around the studion in accordance with their astrological positions in relation to the pentagram, or, he-he clever this.....Penta-graham. 
Again the rhythm section of Pugwash(?) and Terry were on opposite sides of the room,but this time they seem to be tight and funky.On the previous "Holy Magick" album Rick Grech was most likely off his tits on copious amounts of Vertigo supplied drugs, or pissed.
I had a friend called Pugwash at primary school,just around the corner from where Rick Grech lived his last days.He was so-called because he had a constant crust of dried snot around his nostrils,'Pug' being the local word for said nasel bi-product. My now self-murdered 'friend', an 'orrible little oik called 'Tomo', who forced me to be his friend or face pugilistic retribution.Did a shit in his trousers one afternoon in art class,and eased the fresh turd down his trouser leg by waggling the appropriate limb until the offending stool dropped onto the floor next to Pugwash's desk. Like  the shitkicker he was, Tomo kicked the odourous item under Pugwash's chair.
His hand shot up in the air consumed with delight as he gained the attention of the pedagogue in charge and steered her attention to an obviously oblivious 'Pugwash'.
"Please Miss, Pugwash has done a shit in class", he informed with barely concealed glee.
Pugwash was forcefully removed and sent to the principles office after the obligatory visit to the bogs to wipe his innocent,and presumably 'shitless' arse.
Oh how we laughed for weeks on that one.
I next met Pugwash some twenty years later, when I produced my driving Licence at the local Police station after a speeding offence.The officer handling my case was none other than PC Pugwash himself,and I noticed he had a large tattoo on his forearm,with the word 'Tracey' proudly displayed in the centre of the swirling doodle of an art nouveau heart shape.He pretended not to recognise me, but I did take note that there were no longer any 'pugs' caked around his nose holes,and took care not to mention the 'Turd' incident.
This, kids, is how to handle yourself when in a Cop-Shop.
Ironically 'Tomo' chose to end his life in the very same manner as Graham Bond did,by throwing himself at the mercy of an approaching train.It was just that Tomo did it at Leicester railway station,and Bond ,Graham Bond, did it at Finsbury Park Tube station.
It could have all been so very different couldn't it? But then again there wouldn't be anything to write about if it all ended in roses like some crappy Hollywood movie, would there?

Graham Bond ‎– "Holy Magick" (Vertigo ‎– 6360 021) 1970

Graham Bond, rivaled the Yardbirds for producing musicians that would go on to greater and grater(sic)things, while he languished in poverty and had an unerring talent for failure. Ginger Baker, Dick Heckstall Smith, John McLaughlin,Jack Bruce,John Hiseman,all went on to have sucessful careers, while our Graham struggled with his weight, and became obsessed with Aleister Crowley (he believed he was Crowley's son!?).
Whereas fellow Crowley obsessive and,as yet,unarrested satutory rapist, Jimmy Page, made that dull over saturated hard rock crap with Led Zepplin, Bond was truly inspired to make a couple of albums of pure madness on prog label Vertigo.Incredibly,the money was there to indulge Grahams fantasies,and included a lavishly packaged gatefold sleeve.....mmmm nice!
Like a Spinal Tap sequence,during the recording, all the musicians had to stand in certain postions in a pentagram shape, that Bonds wife (Diane Stewart) had worked out based on their horoscopes. This led to the rhythm section standing in opposite ends of the room.(the bassist of which was Rick Grech,who lived his last years of his life in a wheel chair a few doors down from me on the council Estate in Leicester where i spent my formative years)
This inevitably caused a slight wandering in syncopation that some would find amateurish,but not your faithful scribe;it makes this album as great as much as it was a massive failure commercially.
Graham treats us to a bit of 'Atlantean' as his husky growl squeezes out the lyrics, "Lashtal.......Attah, Malkuth, Vega-Burah, Vega Dulah, Leolame, Amen."
Messing about with the Occult in the medium of Progressive Jazz Rock is not recommended.Especially as our hero was mysteriously hurled in front of an approaching train in the london Underground at Finsbury Park Station........it could have been Suicide I suppose? In fact, yes it was Suicide.Mess about with the Occult if you want, nothings gonna happen either way.

Aleister Crowley ‎– "Aleister Crowley" (Not On Label ‎– OZ 77) 1986

Leamington Spa produced some recording greats, like Swell Maps,The Shapes, and....erm Aleister Crowley, aka The Great Beast.
Yes, Satan came from an upper middle class town in Warwickshire,and if you've ever visted there,you'll see why.
So this slightly posh bloke spent most of his free time,of which there seemed to be a lot, mucking about with the Occult,flirting with Nazism,mountaineering,and shagging.......lots of shagging.....of all gender types.
Basically a decadent Occultist, he became the object of fascination for many an impressionable musician in the 70's and 80's. But he seemed to be a bit of a Twat as far as I can see. Narcissistic and self-indulgent,Crowley considered himself to be one of the outstanding figures of his time.....don't we all?
Here we have the complete recorded works of Crowley's poems and innvocations from about 1914 to 1920 ,plus a rousing operatic version of 'vive La France', for some strange reason.

Anton LaVey ‎– "The Satanic Mass" (Murgenstrumm ‎– MM6660) 1968

Anton LaVey was the founder and first High Priest of the Church of Satan until his death,just missing Halloween (what a shame?) on October 29, 1997.
Recorded Live,which is an anagram of Evil is it not(?),at the Church Of Satan in San Francisco on Friday the 13th of september, probably on Hate Street.
Anton treats us to more droning, seemingly deadly serious, monologues from his Satanic Bible, backed up with Howard's(Anton's) funeral parlor organ work.
Rather disconcertingly, Mr LaVey bore more than a passing resemblence to your humble Blog author.But I can assure you I have nothing at all to do with this bullshit nonsense....ask my friend B.L.Zebub.
One suspects that this has more to do with showmanship rather than,an actual religion;but unavoidably, some people take it far too seriously.Something I suggest didn't apply to Anton LaVey himself.
He did,however, manage to 'get off' with Jayne Mansfield before she was decapitated in a car smash.So it was to his advantage to nuture his minor celebrity status.
Of course, the membership of The Church Of Satan is booming(Yawn!).You can join online for a few hundred Dollars, and shock your mum and dad and your straighter friends.(Giggle Giggle Titter)...oh what jolly japes?
As laughable as Satanism is, it has just as much basis in fact as other major religions......i.e. None.

Satanism has to be the stupidest Religion among an ever expanding  plethora of Stupid Religions or what?
Assuming that Satan exists (He doesn't by the way), worshipping this entity, automatically assumes that God exists also. Therefore condeming yourself to an eternity of torture,when you could have easily groveled to that other entity who promises you a cushy after-life in Paradise!?..what kind of stoopid fuck chooses to be a slave to something who repays you with eternal punishment?.....answer:.. at least one extremely dull idiot called Robert Jamra (not his real name I suggest?).
It is also the most boring, over serious bunch of crap that could ever turn you towards doing something genuinely evil, like joining the Republican Party, or investing in Coca-Cola.
Satanists appear to have no, zero, sense of humour at all; and listening to Jamra droning on about this shite for forty minutes makes you wanna slash ones wrists in the certainty that you ain't gonna meet up with either rival entity to be judged,let alone punished, just eternal silence in oblivion.
There's also something irritatingly adolescent about Satanism too.One knows they're only doing it to rebel against societal norms,like Heavy Metal fans,but without those lovely riffs.
Well, here's an adequate, and equally adolescent summing up of all this silliness.....Why don't You silly Satanic Twats just grow up or, preferably, Fuck Off please?

A Armageddon
B1 Invocation
B2 Sacrifice

The Louvin Brothers ‎– "Satan Is Real" (Capitol Records ‎– T1277) 1959

I used to think that The Exploited was the consummate manifestation of 'Stupid' until I saw and heard this record!This makes wattie and the boys seem like Philosophers.
If that isn't the most Insane album cover ever released on a major label I dunno what is!? Also, I notice that the Louvin Brothers seem to actually be in Hell!?
This kinda stuff frightens the shit out of me.Satan may be 'real'(in fact there's no credible evidence pointing in that direction), but Rednecks are certainly very Real. They exist in a post-cowboy Saudi Arabian style bubble,where you are in serious danger of extreme violence if you're Gay, Black, or a godless Atheist. There's nothing more horrific than Stupidity,and this album is it.
Ira and Charlie Loudermilk were The Louvin Brothers,a bluegrass harmony duo that existed from 1955 until 1963 when they broke up due to Ira's volatile temper.I dread to think what brother Ira, ironically the acronym for a catholic terrorist organistation in Ireland, was capable of if he was confronted by a communist,or any of the usual suspects previously mentioned.Thankfully, Ira met Satan after a car wreck in Jefferson City in 1965,and I doubt he was singing "Are You Afraid To Die" as he smashed through the windshield,just before he found out that Satan and God most certainly are NOT real.

Marjoe Gortner ‎– "Bad But Not Evil" (Chelsea Records ‎– CHE-1005) 1972

Being a native of the dark industrial wastelands of the Midlands in the worlds first industrial economy of Great Britain, Country Rock and Americana did not sit comfortably in my understanding.Living in the birthplace of Doom Metal,Black Sabbath is our country music,It took me decades to listen to Country Rock stuff such as Bob Dylan,Neil Young,The Byrds and that singer-songwriter awfulness. At the same time I can get lost in the romance of the American Road Movie.
Marjoe Gortner was once the 'worlds Youngest Evangelist Preacher' between the ages of 4 to 8, and earned hundreds of thousands of Dollar for his parents, before he became an actor,and during his career revival in 1972 recorded an album of rather good Americana country tinged balladry.Under the aupices of Tom Scott, the writer of the marvelously funky theme to 'Starsky and Hutch'.....did i tell you I had a pint with Huggy Bear in a pub in mt hometown of Leicester back in the nineties.....he said 'I Like to meet the people'!?
Marjoe was a celebrity,like Huggy Bear, after a documentary following his revived Evangelist career.So, he had to try and cash in.Especially as he came out as an Atheist and revealed he only preached 'God's Word' for the Cash.....and I don't mean Johnny Cash. either.
Looking at the images on the cover,he just seems to be the perfect manifestation of the mid western bigot, but now we know otherwise, I kinda like this album a lot. I've played it three times so far,which is a rarity for me in these dark days. I may play those religious period Bob Dylan albums next....whats happening to me?

Tracklist:
A1 Hoe-Bus 5:05

Marjoe Gortner ‎– "Worlds Youngest Evangelist" (Marjoe Gortner self-released ‎– MG 1001) 1972

Marjoe Gortner ,the worlds youngest preacher, began harming brains and ears at the ripe old age of 4??
He first gained public attention during the late 1940s when his parents arranged for him at age four to be ordained as a preacher, due to his extraordinary speaking ability. He was the youngest known in that position. As a young man, he preached on the revival circuit and brought celebrity to the revival movement.
He became a celebrity again during the 1970s when he starred in Marjoe (1972), a behind-the-scenes documentary about the lucrative business of Pentecostal preaching. This won the 1972 Academy Award for Best Documentary Film. And is now noted as one of the most vehement criticisms of Pentecostal preaching west of the Pecos.
The best thing about Marjoe was that he admitted to being an Atheist, and he only did the preaching for the money.Not that that stopped him getting any bookings however!?A lot of such admissions were revealed in the documentary film.
The fact that a four year old can extol the virtues of christianity to an adoring audience of desperate 'adult' americans shows the intellectual depth that this nonsense requires to quickly build up a following of willing cash donators. Its just another confidence trick that too many humans are only too enthusiastic to be suckered into;but at least they know they're gonna live forever? Until they die that is.
Fuck Me! Will someone tell this kid to SHUT UP!!!!!?

Tracklist:

A1 To This End Was I Born (Age 4)
A2 You'd Better Get Ready (Age 4)
A3 Now Is The Hour (Age 4)
A4 The Great Judgement Morning (Age 6)
A5 Jesus Came (Age 4)
B1 I'll Carry The Torch (Age 6)

The Christophers ‎– "Christopher Recordings On Sex Instruction" (Christopher Recordings) 1951

The normal way that Christians provided sex instruction for children, especially by Priests and the like, was usually to shag them.
If i didn't have chemicals that made me behave otherwise, I think this sickly sweet, gender stereotypical, christian vomit-fest would turn me off Sex for life, and the life after that.
The fact that there's absolutly no need for Sex in the here-after would in fact put a lot of christians off obeying the ten commandments to avoid being sent there.Which would lead to an epidemic of adultery,murder,theft,graven image drawing,false god worship, baring false witness,and worst of the lot....working on sunday!?......you couldn't make this up could you?.....but someone did!!!?
Which, all told, is not too bad, considering that the Bible seems to positvely recommend such behaviours outside of the commandments betrothed to Moses as, Gang Rape,Genocide,Infanticide, Mysogyny,and Extreme Homophobia.
True, the Koran has 72 Virgins set aside for any martyr who dies during the Jihad;which isn't a lot for a randy (arse)soul living for all eternity in 'Paradise'. Aren't Virgins renowned for being crap in bed anyway? And what about contraception,as Sex is strictly for making Babies in the various holy books,and any measures against pregnancy are also a big No No!? So in fact, these martyrs are tortured for eternity, surrounded by 72 Virgins that they can't have sex with,or Heaven would be full of Kids!
As ther seems to be only two kids in the Christopher family,and as they are law abiding Christians, this implies that the ones giving this instruction have only had sex twice in their Marriage Union.
As skin crawling as this record is,it's also very funny.Which is a combination one always enjoys.

Tracklist:
A1 How Babies Are Born
A2 Menstruation
B1 Problems Of Growing Boys
B2 The Marriage Union

Floyd Robinson ‎– "Charlie the Hamster Sings The Ten Commandments" (Singcord ‎– ZLP 3009) 1977

Ignorant of the raging Punk Rock wars of 1977, Charlie the Hamster  carries on regardless hammering christianity into the heads of the god fearin'kids in the states of the mid west and south. Roughly the same places the Sex Pistols visited on their fateful tour of the USA. They broke up, probably due to the power of Charlie The Hamster in alliance with God.
Commandment One, "thou shalt have no other gods before me"!?...says Charlie with a giggle.
He was either admiting that this awful little rodent was in fact 'God', or letting the secret out of the bag that there are, in fact, 'other' Gods? 
So much for Monotheistic religion then?

Tracklist:

A1 Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me 2:00
A2 Thou Shalt Not Make Unto Thee Any Graven Image 1:30
A3 Thou Shalt Not Take The Name Of The Lord Thy God In Vain 1:54

Floyd Robinson ‎– "Charlie The Hamster Teaches Bible Stories" ( Singcord ‎– ZLP 938) 1974

"Lets tell the boys and girls what's its like to live in a Christian nation Charlie", says this complete bastard Floyd Robinson. In fact Charlie is the only Hamster I would gladly euthanize.
This greatly irritating attempt to indoctrinate our offspring is one of the best arguments for capital punishment this side of the American Taliban bible belt's enthusiasm for "lynchin' n****rs",and stoning homosexuals to death.
I wonder what Charlie's opinions are on Blacks and Homosexuals?
Triple X-rated I should imagine.
I bet Charlie won't be relaying the Bible Stories about Genocide,Incest,Statutory rape,Rape,Infanticide,murder,misogyny,and how animals,including cute little Charlie aren't allowed in Heaven.

Tracklist:

A1 It's Fun To Live For Jesus 2:15

Lil' Markie ‎– "Volume 1 : Music To Serve The Lord By" (Mark Fox Family Ministries ‎– MF-01) 1979

Christian Ventriloquists is an obscure but fruitful bracket for the downright weirdWe've had Little Marcy,there's a Little Cindy, and now ,the worst of the lot, Little Markie.
The personification of pure naked evil is usually a subjective opinion based on personal beliefs....but, I think we can all agree that Mark Fox, also know as 'Lil' Markie' comes very close to winning the prize. Hitler don't make the top three for me,'cus at least he was honest about what he wanted to do, Stalin probably gets the Bronze, second place could be Jimmy Savile's,narrowly beaten to the punch by Lil' Markie.Mainly for the demonic pro-life anthem "Diary of an Unborn Child",which includes the jolly sing a long chorus of "Why did you kill me mommy?" like a punch and Judy Linda Blair from The Exorcist; "Your Mommy's gonna suck cocks in Hell!" is what Lil' Markie is trying to say. Hopefully i'm wrong, and Hell exists specifically for this Fat Bastard only, so he can suck cocks in Hell for eternity.Looking at him, he would likely enjoy such a punishment,which reather defeats the whole idea of a 'Hell'?
Of course I exaggerate for the purpose of entertainment,but this fat lummox sporting a traditional bible belt mullet was the reason the word 'Cunt' was first used for the description of morbidly obese rednecks with a dual personality disorder.
Fox, puts on an incredibly repulsive harmonized falsetto voice to give voice to his youthful alter-ego, in thee most bizarre example of evangelism in a world of weirder than weird Evangelist preachers.
I'm not a violent person, but I think I could well enjoy kicking seven shades of shite out of this chubby messenger from Hell in Heaven on Earth.
I can only wonder if any of that angry mob of christian anti-abortionist were inspired to murder Doctors after listening to these recordings as a child in their formative years?
Apart from all that,this Sesame Street meets mental illness juvenile propaganda is some of thee most wacked out madness this side of the secure psychiatic facility at Sing Sing prison......or in this case Don't Sing Don't Sing......Pleeeeeze!.....Prison.
Which is where he belongs,without parole.
Sadly Mark Fox is still out there spreading his poison to adoring small audiences in the sewers of Hicksville America.

Little Marcy ‎– "Sings Nursery Rhymes" (Word ‎– K-702) 1967

There are people out there who think this strange detour into creepy religious cults doesn't fit the remit of this blog. Wrong, none of this shite would have ever seen the light of day,even though its makers had patently 'Seen the Light', unless these crazed simpletons had put it all out themselves, on their own labels, and making their own genre. Christians were doing it themselves well before us normal people discovered the way out of corporate slavery.
There are also people who seemed desperate to hear Little Marcy's version of old English Nursery Rhyme, "I Love Little Pussy".Renamed in the late 20th century as "I Love Little Kitty".
So, here it is, as part of the only Little Marcy album that doesn't bang on about Jesus for the duration.
Many of these nursery rhyme have decidedly iffy subject matter, and rather Pagan themes as their origin. And yes, the Pussy referred to in Marcy's most seeked out tune, does indeed,possibly, cryptically refer to a ladies naughty bits in the oldest version of the tune from 1830,by some obscure wordsmith called Jane taylor (1783-1824)
