Description
Up for bids is an original copy of the notorious Marvin Whoremonger LP. This is one of only a very small handful of known copies and only the second copy to be offered publicly. These are 15 to 17 year old Vegas high school kids doing X-rated electro funk with insane basement production from Cholly Williams and half the album was recorded live in one take! I'll rob a Dante Carfagna quote here: "Whoremonger has everything Uncle Funkenstein lacks: Personality, vision, uniqueness, drugs, hookers, you name it. There are few records out there that sound like the Whoremonger, whereas Uncle Funkenstein resembles any number of mid-70s smooth jazz LPs..." and note that this made his Top 10 list in Yusuke's new Rare Groove guide. Madman Nate Bizzo adds that Whoremonger is "the benchmark for local funk LPs" and "rarer than Hannah Montana's virginity" .
Cover shows ring and shelf wear, corner wear on spine and seam splits. Inner gatefold shows 3 tears (see pics). Discs show moderate scuffing and needle marks and all sides have a strange spotted pattern that may or may not be due to the budget pressing. All sides play through strong with only some dull clicks and pops in areas and there are absolutely no skips or jumps.
Tracks: Street Scene, Pusher Man, Sex In Motion, Funky Heaven, Going To The Top, The Party Is Over, Sex In Motion (instrumental), Funky Heaven (instrumental),
