Unreleased before early version of their stunning debut! Controlled Bleeding's founder Paul Lemos insisted that there are actually two Distress Signals recordings, one of which has never been heard and which is now released on beautiful vinyl thru Toronto-based Artoffact Records
Part of the mystique of Distress Signals comes from Controlled Bleeding's founder Paul Lemos, who, while putting together this reissue series in conjunction with Artoffact Records, insisted that there are actually two Distress Signals recordings, both very different from each other, and one which has never been heard or released in any form. In fact, according to Lemos, the second Distress Signals is the one which was originally intended for Broken Flag, but due to an error or oversight, a mistake in dubbing or who knows what, the audio on the Broken Flag tape is not the performance intended.
From this came the idea to release two editions of Distress Signals:
Distress Signals I - a completely remastered and restored edition of the original, rare Broken Flag tape.
Distress Signals II - Lemos' intended recording, never before released and quite different from the Broken Flag tape.
Limited to 300 copies on black vinyl.
