condition (record/cover): NM / EX- (minimal ring wear) The 1981 live album capturing Pere Ubu in performance during their most experimental and challenging phase. Live, the band's already difficult sound becomes even more chaotic and intense - Allen Ravenstine's synthesizer processing reaches extremes impossible in studio, David Thomas's vocals grow more unhinged and theatrical. The setlist draws heavily from their challenging late-70s experimental period, showing how these complex studio recordings translated to stage performance. The title refers to the split-channel stereo recording technique used. Essential document of one of rock's most uncompromising and genuinely adventurous live acts. Not for casual listeners.
