Lux and Ivy's Favorites Volume 7 (remaster)
As I build up to LAIF 18, here is the remaster/upgrade of
Lux and Ivy’s Favorites Volume 7.
Nothing major, just cleaned up
the overall sound and got some better files. The “big” change was fixing the
Stan Freberg track, John and Marsha. When I originally put this volume
together, I ended up using the WRONG track! I used one of Freberg’s sequels to
the original song. I know this will make one person happy anyway, unless he’s
forgotten making a stink about it all those years ago! Now you can be annoyed
by a completely different annoying track than the one that was on the original
LAIF #7!
This cover was put together by Adam Fitch from my idea, and
is taken from the Kay Martin and Her Bodyguards LP. I figured since one of her
tracks is on the compilation, what better image to use?

Lux and Ivy's Favorites Volume 4 (Remaster)
YEARS ago I had begun the laborious process of “remastering”
the original LAIF’s because a lot of the early volumes that were made during
the infancy of the internet had less than stellar sound quality. I began to
remaster them and come up with covers for them as well. This was done mostly so that when they popped
up on my ipod (now phone) there was a cover to display for the compilation. I
designed some of the covers myself, while other covers were done by artist pals
like J.R. Williams, Haunted George, Gilles Fernandez, and King Trash (Michael
Deforge).
When I first started doing these, they were the equivalent
of a mix tape, nothing more than that. Working on Kogar’s Jungle Juice Episode 21 was
a blast and got me thinking about those volumes that didn’t have a cover, and
still had some audio issues that bug the “audiophile” part of me. I began to go
back and take a look at past volumes and see what I could do.
First up, Volume 4! Since this volume has a track from the
soundtrack of the GREAT flick SATAN’S SADISTS, we used that as the basis for
this cover. Adam Fitch did a FANTASTIC job (as always) with the cover, going
that extra mile and recreating the Satan’s Sadists font. As always, THANKS Adam
for making my ideas a reality!
Here’s Lux and Ivy’s Favorites Volume 4 remastered for your
enjoyment…

Kogar's Jungle Juice #21 Lux and Ivy's Favorites Special!
Here is Kogar's Jungle Juice Show #21! Almost THREE HOURS of amazing music from the Lux and Ivy's Favorites series that started nearly 30 years ago! Along the way I'll talk a little bit about the series and how it started while playing (mostly) 45's from the compilations with interview segments from various Lux and Ivy interviews that I've found over the years. All mashed together with horror and exploitation cuts from their favorite movies. Also in there will be a handful of tunes from a possible LAIF volume 18! It's enough to make you a cross eyed gurning sight! Yowwwwwww. Special added bonus the incredibly rare and insane PAPA OO MOW MOW relaxation tape! Something I put together to listen to when I want to get in touch with my inner Purple Knif!
So slap on your wig hat, polish up your Batty Bucks (or cha cha heels, whichever you prefer) and settle in to your favorite leopard print comfy chair and take a trip that will tickle your fissure of rolando!
