“Better than The Beatles!” Frank Zappa

Quirky and charming garage pop, sounding like the 1960s and early 1970s, and clearly influential to the decades that followed, sounding like it must have influenced so many quirky indie pop outfits of the past 50 years, or influenced the bands that influenced other bands that weren't even aware of The Shaggs. 

When they go into spoken word on "Painful Memories," the Shangri-Las influence comes through, but mostly this is their own thing, recalling those obscure vinyl treasures you find at thrift stores, these recordings apparently recorded in 1969 - 1973 circa, includes a version of The Carpenters 1973 "Yesterday Once More".
