Murry Wilson, a man of many moods who for some reason Capitol Records allowed to record one album in 1967.

signed pepper

Just a heads up to the high rollers out there that there’s a signed copy of Pepper up on ebay dot com right now. Bidding is at $31,110 so far with more than two days left in the auction. The reserve is not yet met so things still have a chance to get interesting or absurd. The record is accompanied by these groovy photos of the fabs supposedly signing the thing. Watch this space: I’ll update when the auction goes off.

Update: the price didn’t budge since this was posted and the auction ended without the reserve being met. An anticlimax, I guess.

Can you believe this fucking cover? I’ve don’t own nor have I heard this album so I’ll let this guy tell you what it’s like (I found his blog while looking for info on this record and while I’ve yet to read much of it, it seems like a good idea). But look at that fucking cover: Some random seventies rock and roll dude being stalked by two teen-aged cheerleaders one of whom looks nearly feral.

This record mustn’t have been too much of an obscurity upon its release as it was produced by Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks and Egan’s follow-up LP scored a decent-sized hit with Magnet and Steel. If while looking at this cover you wondered what was going to happen next between Walter Egan and the two cheerleaders, the back cover tells the tale:
