LIKE THE BEATLES NEVER HAPPENED

Well waddya know, another band reunited. Sort of. There's only one original member, but that's of little concern, because the fact that there is even a "reunion" is kind of remarkable in itself.  The Sloths weren't exactly a household name, even back in the day. But they put out one 45 that ended up on one of the Back From the Grave garage compilations. The 45 became hot property, going for as much as six grand. This for a 45 that Garage Hangover describe as "recorded by actual Neanderthals in their cave studio..." Yeah. That sounds good, not six grand good, but good enough to go one step further. Thankfully, Ugly Things did the dirty work for us, reissuing the 45, replete with a reproduction of the lowest of low budget sleeve. I picked up the reissue when it came out, autographed by three of the original members to boot, but sadly, it now looks as though it's sold out.

Worry not, ye who must have physical product. It what may be the most surprising development of the whole Sloths story, the reunited version have finished an LP and it might actually be good. If the two pre-release songs posted are any indication, it sounds pretty damn tight. Listen to the new version of "Makin' Love" below. Holy time travel Batman, it's nineteen fucking sixty five!
