Butthole Surfers - Hairway to Steven - LP

Vinyl LP — Matador Reissue

Part of Matador's reissue series of essential early Butthole Surfers records, 1988's Hairway to Steven is a blast — ranging from the blood-smeared guitar overload of "Jimi" to the acoustic, sing-along sweetness of "I Saw an X-Ray of a Girl Passing Gas" to the Fugs-like ranting of "John E. Smoke." For all its strangeness, Hairway got rave notices in places that had never paid the band any attention before. It was the Buttholes' last album of the '80s and marks the beginning of their ascendance into something akin to commercial success.
