You need
Live At Irving Plaza as well. NEED IT. The reasons are right there.
— 15 minutes or so of "NN End" with the one and only Rudolph Grey. Consider that the version on
Mars LP, aka
The Complete Studio Recordings NYC 1977-1978, at 3 minutes and 53 seconds, is the longest track on that compilation. In other words, a full side of extemporization that will blow your cotton socks away from a band you've only experienced in comparatively
way shorter bursts of annihilation.
— Recorded by Brian Eno "on some kind of prototype cassette" (bitchen).
— Includes
Mars As We Know It, a classy, big booklet by Thurston & Coley.
— Also, you get a code for an mp3 version of not only this LP but
also Live At Artists Space.
Now go get it and cut it the fuck out with that Radiohead silliness and those interminable goddamn posts.
