Release
Date:		 8/12/02
***A central Austin warehouse is site of the Butthole Surfers' 278-tape archive. Even when living out of a van in the '80s, they managed to hang on to boxes and boxes of tapes. The van was never stolen, miraculously, and the tapes survive unheard until now. Humpty Dumpty LSD contains 16 cherry-picked rare and unreleased recordings from the band's most productive period - 1982 to 1992. From early four-track demos ("Night of the Day") and punk rock anthems ("Just a Boy") to Morricone-ish western theme music ("Eindhoven Chicken Masque") and free form acid freak outs ("Space"), the music here is as messed up as any of the band's finest material.

Humpty Dumpty LSD sounds like a lost Buttholes album from somewhere between Locust Abortion Technician and Hairway to Steven. For those who weren't there when the Buttholes, their pit bull, and a bank of strobe lights then, toured the country playing their own brand of acid punk for those who grew up listening to hardcore but wanted something more, Humpty Dumpty LSD is the next best thing.

  • 69 minutes of previously unreleased or hard-to-find material, from original master tapes
  • A sterling-sounding virtual "lost album" from one of the band's most loved periods
  • More archival material is promised
  • Lovely watercolor cover art by Gibson Haynes

Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 LBV09CD
Price: $12.00 Label: Latino Buggerveil
Release
Date:		 10/8/07
***Latino Buggerveil's reissue campaign continues afresh with the reissue of two Butthole Surfers artifacts-- the Widowermaker! EP and Piouhgd, all tidied up and combined onto one CD.

These were the last two records the Butthole Surfers made before signing up with a major label. Piouhgd features "Hurdy Gurdy Man," a single that found its way onto MTV. Need we remind you that the Butthole Surfers' catalog continues to generate fascination, interest, and puzzlement from past and current generations?

Upon its initial release in 1991, Rough Trade claimed that the Piouhgd was pronounced "pee-owed" (as in the euphemism for "pissed off") and that it also meant "I told you" in the Navajo. This explanation, as well as the spelling, were fabricated by the label unbeknownst to the band; the album title was intended to be unpronounceable.

***There's a time to fuck and a time to crave, but the shah sleeps in Lee Harvey's grave.

So begins The Butthole Surfers' first song on their first record, a tune that paid tribute to and killed American hardcore once and for all while single-handedly ushering in a new Post-Everything era. Over the course of the next 20 minutes listeners hear the band raving about a Bar-B-Q Pope and the revenge of Anus Presley, thoughts of suicide, and eating cheese and rice. There's even a three-minute pop song ("Hey"), just to confuse matters more.

This legendary Butthole Surfers EP was made by a couple of young ex-accountants with bad hair, who, despite Yankee reviewers' claims, had never even heard Captain Beefheart or Faust. Mixing Flipper with fart jokes doesn't sound like the stuff of legend, but like a fat Elvis or fatter Brando, humor and horror can make interesting bedfellows.

As a follow up, the band went to a bar in their hometown of San Antonio and recorded their live set, for the Live PCPPEP. Many feel these EPs were the best records the band ever recorded and both have been only available on vinyl until now.

As if the first two Butthole Surfers EPs on one portable CD isn't a sweet enough deal, there are bonus tracks: a two-song encore ("Gary Floyd" and "Matchstick") added to the live EP; "Sinister Crayon," recorded for the first EP and not mixed until 2002 (it appears on the vinyl version of Humpty Dumpty LSD); and an early demo version of "Something." If you can't find something to love on this CD, chances are you're dead.
