bongwater: breaking no new ground/shimmy002 (first ep)
           double bummer         /shimmy011
 
both of the above can be found in a double cd package with about 4 bonus
tracks.. well worth owning.
   
           too much sleep        /shimmy031
           the power of pussy    /shimmy040

that is the new one.. excellent. word of advice, current run of vinyl seems
to be defective on side one to varying degrees.. probably will be better
to wait for the cd in another few weeks.. shimmydisc cd's are made in europe
so there is a lag time between vinyl and cd release.. also, cd's contain
extra tracks.

if you enjoy bongwater, you may want to sample dogbowl.. great band..
very whimsical.
first album.. t i t ! an opera   /shimmy023
also.. new release due out any day...
    nuclear cyclops submarine captain  /shimmy043

for those of you looking for shockabilly's vietnam and heaven albums.. their
masterpieces before the band broke up, ... /shimmy026 cd and casette only

also oon current release is a great 're-do' of the rutles album.. rutles
highway revisited    /shimmy041.. all the songs were done by different
artists who pass thru the doors of noise new york, and is a great sampler
of what the different bands sound like.

sorry for taking up so much space on the topic, but shimmy is a great label
to look to for the weird, unusual, inventive.. kramer is on a roll and the
production is excellent, the music loud, and oftentimes incredibly beautiful.
