Sonic Youth
Confusion Is Sex
LP on Neutral Records, #9
1983 First Pressing!
This is the first and classic full length LP by Sonic Youth. Original pressing, recorded 1982 and released February 1983. Cover, insert and vinyl all in excellent condition. Comes from a smoke free home, from my personal collection from years past, and kept safely in a plastic sleeve, unplayed for the last 15 years. High bidder pays $3.99 shipping within the US only. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia on the album:
Features a cover of the The Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog". The cover image is a sketch by bassist Kim Gordon and guitarist Thurston Moore. This image was used on gig posters early in the band's career.
Confusion is Sex is the only Sonic Youth album on which guitarist Lee Ranaldo plays bass, specifically on the song "Protect Me You".
The album was recorded by Wharton Tiers in his Chelsea studio (which he had set up in the basement of a building where he worked as superintendent). It was mostly recorded during Jim Sclavunos' brief tenure as drummer for the band, and he appears on drums for most of the album. Frustrated by the unconventional recording situation in Tiers' studio and generally not clicking with the band musically, Sclavunos was ejected and Bob Bert was invited back, and recorded drums for "Making The Nature Scene". Bert appears on this track and the live "I Wanna Be Your Dog" on the album.
