Pristine New Sealed Condition! (Color of Vinyl Variant is Unknown as it is Still Sealed)
" I have known about the existence of these recordings since 1984. But they were only released in limited forms or unofficially. THIS IS THE REAL THING. You get the chance to listen to a top band presenting top material in top sonic reproduction. This music makes you happy for its existence and sad that the Gun Club never received such an opportunity to present material from their first two LPs under these circumstances.
If you like the songs of Hee Haw but are disturbed by the tinny sound, you are bloody right: fantastic material and performances, but the guys in the studio were not yet ready to catch this bunch appropriately at their sonic attack. This makes current Nick Cave products sound like what they are: venerable arts and craft fetishes for the middle-aged. This band on the other hand boasting five musicians who sound like they were only half a step behind understanding what they were doing and thus much further than the rest of the world. To make the full series recorded in the course of barely three years finally available is fantastic: The Birthday Party's relentless and otherworldly stagger ranks them as one of the fiercest bands who still managed to commit their experiences to something that we can still recognize as form, as music. As outstanding as Trout Mask Replica.
A double record you may have the guts to listen fully through with paying extra attention to the mighty bass of Tracy Pew and the always underrated drumming of Phill Calvert.
You should try to get this music. Essential! " - Owner of This Edition.
