So thanks a lot for posting this!! I was worried it would become another one of the records he praises in print but that I'd never hear because there's only 3 known copies or something. Wow, what a crude record. Pretty cool but not an all-time favorite. I'd call the A-side a "happy accident"- it sounds like they really meant to do a ballad but it turned out sounding all fucked up and twisted. So I wouldn't say it's intentionally snotty in the same way that Back To The Grave-type stuff is from the 60's. I almost like the B-side better than the A-side. Is it really from '65, though? The B-side mentions "hippies" in the lyrics but was that term really being used that much pre-1967? [Maybe so, according to: http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-hip1.htm]. But you gotta love the song name "Babe We're Not A Part of Society" and the band name in general. In some circles, a "church mouse" is slang for a gay man who engages in "heavy petting" in a church (see the entry for it in the great "Big Book of Filth" book). But I doubt the slang term was being used way back then. Thanks again.<BR/><BR/>- Tony in ChicagoPunk Business Managerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892678547340630590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36274466.post-67357490293529408412007-03-19T23:56:00.000-07:002007-03-19T23:56:00.000-07:00mine has the same exact thing written on the paper...mine has the same exact thing written on the paper sleeve w/ the stamp. i'll have to try it on a different turntable, but so far it skips in two places on 'lord my cell is cold'. can't complain, i found it for dirt cheap.<BR/><BR/>AAAAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04684446369677739130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36274466.post-32048547321826903062007-03-19T23:36:00.000-07:002007-03-19T23:36:00.000-07:00my kack klick skips on one record player i have an...my kack klick skips on one record player i have and not on the other. and it also has "this record fucking skips" written on it by armand and a rubber stamp of his face.<BR/><BR/>met the man before i knew the records...telling me stories about finding son house sleeping in snowdrifts in rochester. house of guitars is amazing and everyone should check it out and give themselves plenty of time to do so.cassdetroithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09743641029214106404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36274466.post-67726578437949628192007-03-19T18:18:00.000-07:002007-03-19T18:18:00.000-07:00totally unique record that really reminds me of ea...totally unique record that really reminds me of early half japanese/screaming meemees basement clutter.<BR/><BR/>kack klick single is pretty great. apparently, it's hard to find a copy that doesn't skip--mine does and mssr. shaubroeck even mentions it in the message he scrawled on the sleeve. <BR/><BR/>great records!<BR/><BR/>AAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36274466.post-14117211285187645452007-03-19T17:21:00.000-07:002007-03-19T17:21:00.000-07:00The sound and style of this kinda reminds me of th...The sound and style of this kinda reminds me of the Fugs First Album, which is also from '65.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36274466.post-33258918934408792062007-03-19T17:01:00.000-07:002007-03-19T17:01:00.000-07:00too weird you post this on the same day i get a co...too weird you post this on the same day i get a copy of this single in the mail. i dig the churchmice alright, but how 'bout some love for kack klick? recorded in '63? songs about being in jail? the best song never included on back from the grave?
