    The Shaggs Sweet Maria / The Missouri Waltz (RSD 16)

    Light in The Attic

      7" - £10.99

      In 1968, three sisters from Fremont, New Hampshire strapped on their instruments and declared themselves The Shaggs. At that moment begun a peculiar tale that would last far beyond the group's five-year run. Dot, Betty and Helen (and occasionally Rachel, the fourth sister) played in the group on the insistence of their father, Austin Wiggin, who was convinced they were going to be big. His prediction didn't quite prove prophetic.

      This special 7" single features the previously unheard “Sweet Maria” and “The Missouri Waltz” (state song of Missouri, no less). It's the tip of the iceberg – a reissue of the full album Philosophy Of The World follows from Light In The Attic next year.
