The only band to use the Beatles, Whitney Houston, Mission Impossible, Petula Clark, Doctor Who, ABBA, and the French national anthem as art statements. Circa 1987: Shag Times, one of the many deliberate cash-ins released in the wake of the Timelords, confirmed Bill Drummond and Jimi Cauty's supremacy over every last imitator and pop stunt plagiarist.
This Milwaukee, Wisconsin band are best remembered by their 1967 single "Stop & Listen." What is not known about them is their 1969 studio recordings made at Pacific High Recorders in San Francisco. Shag laid down some excellent tracks during down time at the studio while the Grateful Dead were finishing up "Workingman's Dead." Tracks from Shag's "1969" have never been released and their use of the flute a full two years ahead of Jethro Tull's popularization of the instrument shows their versatility and raw talent.
