NEW VINYL LP ON 4AD 2013

2 X 180 VINYL.

“Though various live releases had emerged over the course of the bands existence, no full-length capturing of the Partys particular bacchanalia, approved by the group had officially emerged until this release. Stitching together tracks from a London date in 1981 and a German show in 1982 (plus a ringer cut from Athens, Greece – a version of the Stooges Funhouse with Jim Thirwell aka Foetus on sax), Live threatens at all points to leap from the speakers and throttle innocent bystanders. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birthday_Party_%28band%29
