The soundtrack to the must-see documentary film on
Allin of the same title includes liner notes with quotes from the film from
GG and associates. With several of
Allin's signature songs and other material, it offers about as understandable a portrait of him as one can get. The sound (and musical) quality of most of these selections, whether live or studio recordings, is wretched, but somehow they make more sense that way. ("Suck My Ass It Smells," in particular, must be heard for one to believe that somebody bothered to record it.) Cover art is by John Wayne Gacy. ~ Steve Huey
