Gto's (usa)
Permanent Damage
The GTO's began as a bunch of wildly outrageous girls who frequented the Sunset Strip in LA and hung out with the bands that performed in the area during the late 1960s, f.i. the Magic Band and Mothers Of Invention. They effectively coined the phrase 'groupies' and initially became the Cherry Sisters, then a spontaneous performance-art collective known as the Laurel Canyon Ballet Company. Two members were also babysitters in the Zappa household. In 1969 Zappa produced the group (as one of his side projects) by then called GTO's, an acronym for Girls Together Outrageously. 'Permanent Damage' consequently featured a number of renowned musicians who happened to be around the LA 'freak scene' during the time. This edition is limited to 500 copies in a gatefold sleeve.
