"It's Friday night, 1965. The men are all congregating in the back room den. Stogies are sniffed and then smoked. The best scotch is poured. A new deck of cards is opened for the weekly poker match. And later, after everyone is just a little bit sauced, the 16mm projector may come out of the closet and show that scandalous film loop of the women in high-heel boots spanking each other. But every evening still needs something to start the party rolling - and that's where the stag party record comes in. These recklessly lewd and wonderfully droll albums featured songs by bawdy, buxom beauties , and were a mainstay in the secret private world of men, much to the chagrin of the US Postal Service. ...
... But what of those men of a more "gay" disposition? You know, those still trapped in the closet of a pre-Stonewall era. ...
... Camp Records was not making fun of gay culture, their goal was merely to get those gay stag parties kick-started! ...",
