condition (record/cover): EX- / EX With picture sleeve. The legendary 1976 debut single that launched both Pere Ubu and Cleveland's entire post-punk scene. David Thomas's vocals are immediately distinctive - melodramatic yet deadpan, theatrical yet somehow genuine in their emotional intensity. The band creates dense, claustrophobic sound architecture with Tom Herman's guitar squalls and Allen Ravenstine's disorienting EML synthesizer work. "Final Solution" captures urban decay and psychological breakdown in under three minutes of controlled chaos. One of punk's most visionary early singles, pointing toward art-rock possibilities that few others had courage to explore. The B-side "Cloud 149" is equally essential. Absolutely crucial record.
