Lesa Aldridge - Barbarian Women in Rock EP

We were talking recently about weird times in Memphis, TN. But I’m beginning to think that maybe all times are weird times in Memphis. To wit, this rare, three-song 1978 EP by Alex Chilton’s then-girlfriend/muse Lesa Aldridge. It’s a strange thing, consisting of a Kinks cover (“‘Til The End Of The Day,” utilizing the same backing track from Big Star’s Third), a VU cover (“That’s The Story Of My Life,” which appeared on the OOP It Came From Memphis soundtrack CD) and a hilariously ramshackle version of “Twist & Shout.” Fun stuff and a cool little side note to Chilton’s late 70s activities. Slot it next to Like Flies On Sherbert in your Memphis Madness collection. [Thanks to Jesse for the heads-up on this one]
