Gee Gee Decorator - Gee Gee Decorator LP (Coq Au Vinyl, 2023 reissue)
"Bonjour! We at Coq Au Vinyl are very happy to present to you the first reissue of rare
LP by the extraordinary and virtually UNKNOWN American rhythm and blues ensemble GEE GEE DECORATOR. Released (we think?) in late 70’s or early 80’s in Newark, NJ, the GEE GEE DECORATOR LP answers our questions What if Pussy Galore jam with ESG? What if Harry Pussy get funky? What if Dead C record LP with Sharon Jones? Copies of this vinyl LP rarely turn up over the years, even among hardcore collectors of SERIOUS Waxidermical artifacts of funk, gospel, disco, boogie, R&B etc. We find our copy in 2002 while visiting set of “Sopranos” while our college roommate Jean-Hugues Anglade guest stars in episode where he steals money from Artie Buco. Artie’s restaurant is in same building as recording studio listed on LP label (Record Thing Studio, 95 Halsey St, Newark, NJ) We mainly go to try to meet episode director Steve Buscemi but end up just going through boxes of old vinyl in basement of Artie’s restaurant with actor who play Furio (he’s a big dancehall guy). I take copy of GEE GEE DECORATOR hoping to pass it off as “funky GG Allin” to dumb dumbs at Utrecht Fair but upon hearing pummeling trash can drums, frenetic tuneless guitar and word “FUCK” within 10 seconds of dropping needle and I am HOOKED like Christopher Moltisanti and his heroin! Please enjoy!" - CAV
