Deiz magnifici sunt!
The Godz represent an important piece of the puzzle in the evolution of rock music from something rather formulaic to something that could be wide open enough for total freedom of expression. And when you consider how much the dudes in Godz and the Fugs were touched by seeing free jazz performed live, and then infusing their own version of street music and protest songs with those ideas and spirit, then it makes perfect sense why ESP-Disk's catalog looks the way it does.
