Earwax Control / Paul Wertigo
Earwax Control
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1984 Original In Custom Inner Sleeve. Jacket Has A Hint Of Ring Wear, Vinyl Appears Unplayed. Features Paul Wertico, Longtime Pat Metheny Drummer. "This Is One Of Those Strange Albums That Dares You To Categorize The Music. It's A Little-Bit Rock, A Little-Bit "Free" Jazz, A Little-Bit Blues, And A Whole Lot Of Weird. All The Music Is Improvised Which Explains The Disjointed Feeling. Also, The Selections Were Recorded Over A Long Period Of Time So The Listener Gets An Interesting Look Into The Development Of The Band. "Dogshit Blues" Comes From The 1977 Sessions And Its An Odd Conglomeration Of "Acid" Guitar, Flailing Drums, And Screeching Vocals. "Camp 45" Is One Of The Newer Cuts - The Humor Is More Subdued, Although The Vocals Sound Like They're Coming Over The Camp P.A. Used In "M.A.S.H." "Let's Mecca Deal" Features A Corny, Sitar-Like, Guitar Solo (Played With The Tinniest Fender Guitar Sound) Mingled With What Could Be A Shenai (Indian Reed Instrument). Some Of The Mellower Pieces Remind Me Of The Music That The British "Art-Rock" Band, Hatfield & The North, Produced In The Mid-'70s. Earwax Control Runs The Gamut Of Expressions And They Do It With Their Tongues Ensconced Firmly In Their Cheeks." – Cadence Magazine
