Description
Ugly Things have a WOW factor cover story this time: a mind-blowing, emotional interview with Michelle Phillips about the stratospheric highs and catastrophic lows she experienced with the Mamas & the Papas-the music, the men, the drugs, the power trips, and the magical, inviolable, fragile chemistry they shared as a group. Also: the history of Peru's greatest psychedelic band, Traffic Sound; Peter Stanfield goes deep on the MC5's 1972 UK sojourn; '60s garage punks the Emperors from Long Beach, California and the Traits from Pelham, NY; the continuing story of UK '70s punk outsiders the Subway Sect; soul music songwriter hero Dan Penn; Japanese Mod power pop trio the Badge; Canadian '60s garage/psychsters the Fringe and lots more, including, as always, the expansive and essential review sections covering all the latest vinyl and CD reissues, and rock'n'roll-related books.
