Yip Yip Cow Punk!

 

Yip Yip Coyote - Fifi [ILP 014 UK 1985 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

Here is a brand new high resolution rip of an old blog favourite.

Many will no doubt recall my love of Yip Yip Coyote ...expressed many years ago on the old blog - it was very pleasing to see back then that I was not the only one. The cow-punk genre was very short lived and with thanks to Peel (and three hard to find radio sessions), Yip Yip Coyote hung around long enough to release a couple of singles and one album for IRS and Illegal Records (who also featured The Cramps on their roster). Cow-punk was seen back then as an extension to rockabilly, so with the sound of sagebrush blowing through a windy western desert, stirrups, stetsons and funky slap bass, Fifi and her Yips stood alone in their field ...or is that canyon? 

Anyway, this is all very gimmicky and may not stand the test of time, plus some of the songs are just downright daft. The vinyl pressing is somewhat quiet and it was very crackly throughout. After a Tergikleen solution bath and a couple of spins through the ultrasonic cleaner, please consider this a significant upgrade on any of my previous rips.
