Voice Of Chunk

Voice of Chunk is the third studio album by jazz band the Lounge Lizards, released in 1988. The album was produced independently by bandleader John Lurie, following two releases with Island Records. After unsuccessfully shopping the album to several record labels, Lurie decided to hire a company to print copies of Voice of Chunk and sell it himself through mail-order, promoted with advertisements on television. He reports the album sold about 30,000 copies, a substantial sum for an independent jazz album, but promotional and sales costs were higher than anticipated so the album was not financially profitable. Voice of Chunk was later re-released on frontman John Lurie's record label Strange and Beautiful Music. The song "Uncle Jerry" was a tribute to Lurie's paternal uncle.
