Live At The Longhorn April 1 1978
(Nero’s Neptune) Used 2xLP $22.00 (Out-of-stock)
Mainly material from the Modern Dance album, though more rocked-out, swinging, and raw-nerved than its studio counterpart. Drama and comedy flow within the modules of each song, sharpened to paranoia and sensitive to harsh realities. Three sides, fourth one blank.
London Texas
(ReR Megacorp) Used CD $6.00
A hi-fi live recording of the short-lived line-up that toured briefly between the arrival of Eric Drew Feldman and the departure of Chris Cutler. The songs are economical and tightly arranged but harmonically elaborate with strongly performative and musical underpinnings, all with scary live energy.
New Picnic Time
(Get Back ) Used LP $18.00
On this 1979 album, Pere Ubu shifted to a brighter, more open sound with a deformed blues ethic. Still bearing an air of disaster, Thomas’s story-songs increasingly focus on common elements of everyday life, drawing more in line with his religious beliefs. 2000 reissue on 180g vinyl, in a gatefold jacket. Sealed
Terminal Tower
(Get Back ) Used LP $18.00
1998 reissue of their 1985 retrospective collection of early singles from the mid-’70s. Sealed
