PERE UBU PRESENT MATERIAL FROM THEIR COED JAIL TOUR, PERFORMING SONGS FROM THE BAND’S INSPIRED 1975-1982 PERIOD. INCLUDES TRACKS FROM THE ASTONISHING DEBUT ALBUM “THE MODERN DANCE” AND ITS HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL FOLLOW-UP, “DUB HOUSING”. • INCLUDES THE CLASSIC SINGLES ‘FINAL SOLUTION’, ‘THE MODERN DANCE’ AND ‘THE FABULOUS SEQUEL’ ALONGSIDE CORNERSTONE ALBUM CUTS AND FAN FAVOURITES. • RECORDED LIVE AT THE JAROCIN FESTIVAL, POLAND, 2017. • ALSO INCLUDES TWO TRACKS FEATURING FOUNDER MEMBER TOM HERMAN, RECORDED IN MARSEILLES THE PREVIOUS YEAR. • PRESSED ON RED AND BLACK HALF-AND-HALF VINYL, “On Friday, July 14th 2017, Pere Ubu musicians and crew undertook the journey to Jarocin, Poland, from their homes around the world…..” And so begins the story of ‘By Order Of Mayor Pawlicki’. Broken mics, broken drums, broken itineraries and some espionage made this a stand-out gig for all involved, but from the moment they took to the stage the band’s performance blew all of those impediments, and more, aside. Performing material from the first seven years of the band’s career, Pere Ubu, led by the ever-engaging David Thomas, rejuvenate and reinvigorate their classic catalogue from this influential era. Interspersed with Thomas’ anecdotes, observations and inspired utterances, here we present eighteen cornerstone pieces of the Pere Ubu jigsaw, performed with dedicated brutality. Pressed on glorious red and black vinyl, and presented in artwork produced by Johnny Dromette, designer of those seminal early album sleeves.
