As the late Rick James once said, "Cocaine is a hell of a drug." It makes people do odd things, bad things, things they wouldn't otherwise do. It will make you sell everything from your records to your asshole. It will destroy your life faster than Satan, it will not discriminate or offer any mercy, it will ruin you. But what about the good things cocaine has done? It has provided a steady income for many Colombian farmers, and most importantly it brought us this album. That's right, what you are about to hear is pure uncut DC cocaine porno funk. Wicked Witch was the brainchild of bassist/vocalist Ricky Simms and a couple of friends spending late late nights mixing and remixing. Ricky's sleazy compositions tweaked way past anything recognizable into a disjointed haze of basement funk wankery and freebase smoke. This solid reissue collects Wicked Witch's few recordings done between 1978 and 1986. So fucking schizo-creepy and sinister in a way that only drugs can be. Like poisonous cum on black pleather. This shit's fucked up.

Once again, I probably won't like it, but I am very intigued. Thanks
from "soulless, trenchant bully rape" to "poisonous cum on black pleather"? JEEEEEESUS,
What a brilliant mess this stuff is. And it turns out this is exactly what I was in the mood to listen to right now. I don't know what that says about me.
woah i need to check this out
"This shit's fucked up"
Best review EVER!
i know i'll like it even if i don't.
that is tru cult exotick darkness as change for this scandinavian black metal fan!
I refuse to download another file until I clean up my hard drive but screw it, I have to hear this.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This is why I keep coming back to this site.
All hyperbole aside, my life was bordering on incomplete before this post.
Tr00 fvnk ov thee Blackest Order!
Unhinged genius. Thank you!
This is fantastic, it gives the sensation of listening to multiple things at once, though these are not always multiple songs.
It reproduces all of the discomfort I imagine the 70s/80s could have brought about. And yet this stuff hits strong on me, "Vera's Back" and "Fancy Dancer" are genuinely enjoyable and probably better than some other 1980s Jazz Fusion releases that I've heard.
Urghh, Delete Delete!
One again I am glad to have been exposed to this but never, ever need to hear it again...
Cheers,

"YOU AIN'T COOL!" This stuff is so retarded it is genius. It's like "Bitches Brew" with a lobotomy! Thanks for posting...
saw this in Waxpoetics a few months back and have been dying to hear it. thanks again!
Wow, this is incredible. It has such a great vibe! Where did you find this?
I should have mentioned that the reissue was done by EM records (http://www.emrecords.net) this is available on CD and Vinyl.
As the late Rick James once said, "Cocaine is a hell of a drug."
I'm pretty sure Gary Busey uttered those words a few times too.
ohhh yeah dude. glad you put this up here, a friend of mine sent me this a while ago. Thousands of fucked up light-years past fucked up p-funk fuck.
Jesus fuck, this is strange.
Thank you!
Doggg, this is ridiculous music. The best drug songs not only rambles around semi-incoherently, but also have nice recurring freak out noises like the "drop in the bucket" sound in Vera's Back. Thanks, AES.
This is way dark & way cool.
Kinda like the stuff I'd imagine the P-Funk family would put out before checking in to rehab.
Yo Aesop, this guy got written up in today's Guardian - Someone's reading this blog, and not just us if you know what I mean. See ya, -- BC
Surprised how downright "fusiony" vera's back is. some straight up sick jams on this mothafucka...
It's almost been two years since I commented on this same post. Awesome.
I played this album tonight and had nearly the same ecstatic reaction as two years ago. Got back on the Hearse looking for more of the same. Was disappointed none was to be found, though that second Skorpio album is pretty close, to be fair.
But I need more '70s Satanick cokesplotation fuck-funk in my life.
Can you point me in the right direction, AD? Can anybody?
