Philosophy of the World

Philosophy of the World is the first album by The Shaggs. It was released in 1969 by Third Word Records. At the time, it was considered to be one of the worst albums. It was rereleased in 1980 by Red Rooster Records/Rounder Records after the band NRBQ found it at a Massachusetts radio station in 1978, and has been a cult and influential album ever since.

Recording of the album was financed by Austin Wiggin, father of the Wiggin Sisters.
