The Lewd - Lewd conduct in a public place! (live) #1999

Truth to tell, I wasn't looking forward to reviewing this lp, as my dim recollection of the LEWD was of a rather unextraordinary band. Whether I'm falling victim to the lure of the jasmine-scented past (uh, ahem) or my tastes have gotten broader in my old age (what are the odds of that?). I actually rather enjoyed this live lp (even though it suffers a low guitar volume, as is typical of board tapes). As with a lot of shows of the general era I recollect, the cover songs (in this case, the SONICS' Boss Hoss and SONNY BONO's Bang Bang) tend to stand out as better crafted than the originals and the performance has some loose moments, but it's a worthy (and entertaining) document.
