First Album

The Fugs First Album is the 1965 debut album by American rock band the Fugs, described in their AllMusic profile as "arguably the first underground rock group of all time". In 1965, the album charted #142 on Billboard's "Top Pop Albums" chart. In 1969, the FBI opened an investigation on the Fugs after a broadcasting executive flagged this album and Virgin Fugs as "the filthiest and most vulgar thing the human mind could possibly conceive". The case was eventually dropped. The album was originally released in 1965 as The Village Fugs Sing Ballads of Contemporary Protest, Point of Views, and General Dissatisfaction on Folkways Records before the band signed up with ESP-Disk, who released the album under its own label with a new name in 1966. The album was re-released in 1993 on CD with an additional 11 tracks. In 2017, Pitchfork ranked the album number 155 on their list of "The 200 Best Albums of the 1960s".
