I don't know why I bought this album in 1976, but I have loved it from then until now. The Sisters (Teresa D'Abreu, Jude Alderson, Linda Marlowe and Jacky Taylor)) had a stage show. It seems to have been pretty feminist and radical for the day. Tracks like "Baby Doll" and "Decadent Taint" still sound fantastic. I recently manged to contact Judith Alderson, who said there is a possibility of the show being revived. Wow! I'll be there in the front row singing along. Sadly, she also told me that Teresa D'Abreu died too young. I was so sorry to hear this, but her voice lives on in vinyl.<br />Long live The Sadista Sisters!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4475584775533352605-1923813036232578694?l=cacaphoniquest.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ben Browtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17673815929062790128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4475584775533352605.post-56767628941362653012009-10-27T10:37:00.002Z2009-10-27T10:44:24.245Z<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.cacaphonique.com/blog/uploaded_images/herbal-drug-crackdown-764797.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 201px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.cacaphonique.com/blog/uploaded_images/herbal-drug-crackdown-764789.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;">Herbal drug crackdown indeed...does that mean I am not allowed to make Sloe gin, or grow my own lettuce for the purposes of mild self-medication?
