Noise is Still the King

 

Most everyone remembers the 6' 7" flying-V guitar wielding freak with a mohawk wearing a some crazy trans/punk outfit...Richie Stotts. After leaving the Plasmatics in 1984, Richie pursued a solo career with his band King Flux. 

 



 

This is a compilation of Richie's tunes released in 2002. It contains "Man with the X-Eyes" & "1944" from Stotts' only official release (a 7" 45rpm on American Gothic) plus songs Richie had on cassettes he had recorded but never released that had been in a box in his apartment. The rest of the songs are from the King Flux days. A rarity.

Limited to 100 numbered copies with sleeves that were hand signed & painted by Richie hisself. Comes with 11"x17" cardstock lyric/photo insert (which I included).

Richie is joined on various tunes by fellow Plasmatics bassists Jean Beauvoir & Chris Romanelli, part-time Plasmatics & Twisted Sister drummer Tony Petri along with the Hilfiger Bros (Andy - bass & Billy - guitar [R.I.P.]), Albert Bouchard of B.Ö.C. & Marky Ramone on drums.

    1. Yeah, the first half was on Man with the X-ray Eyes. The second half was new to me, too.
