''It Crawled into My Hand, Honest'' is the second 1968 studio album by The Fugs, a band composed of anti-war poets. It was released in the USA by record company Reprise. As of March 2009, the album is not currently available as a stand-alone CD, but the tracks appear in the 2006 3-CD box set, ''Electromagnetic Steamboat''. ==History== When poet and publisher Ed Sanders established a bookstore next to the apartment of beat poet and publisher Tuli Kupferberg in 1964, the two decided to form a band, The Fugs, writing 50-60 songs between them prior to asking Ken Weaver to join.〔Section source. Sanders, Ed. (The History of the Fugs ). The Fugs official website. Accessed October 3, 2007.〕 In subsequent years, this core trio worked with a number of musicians as they produced a series of albums in quick succession. ''It crawled...'' was their fifth studio album. The band built up a cult following, gaining admiration from counter-culture figures such as William S. Burroughs and Abbie Hoffman. They were known especially for their pro-drugs, anti-war stance, use of poetry in their music, and large number of sexual references in their songs. Due to their overt sexual content, The Fugs were at risk of censorship. However, while on Reprise Records, the company president Mo Ostin showed a willingness to release Fugs material uncensored.〔http://www.thefugs.com/history3.html〕 This era of freedom began with the release of the album ''Tenderness Junction'', released in early 1968. Work on ''It crawled..'' began straight after. The album was The Fugs' most expensive, costing around $25,000.〔 The working title was ''Rapture of the Deep''; this along with ''Tenderness Junction'', and "It Crawled..." demonstrate The Fugs' enjoyment of including thinly-veiled sexual references in their work. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「It Crawled into My Hand, Honest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
