Parnassus Performance Re-Issue Department...





Well... It seems to have taken forever but we've finally got our backsides in gear and done what (at least seventy people) have asked for. All the old cassette releases have been cleaned up by going back to the original two track masters and digitalising the tracks and we are finally making them available again to the cognoscenti of that sort of thing, but with as many extra tracks as we can find in the archives added.
They are all being re-issued by our own Peasant Poetry label in no particular order, so if you had a favourite from way back in the nineties then this is the place to come.

The first re-issue is in glorious lo-fi mono anyway because that is how it was recorded and that is...

EIGHT GO MAD... IN EDINBURGH.

Those of you who already had the cassette version will know that the edit of the gig ran for ninety minutes but the cd doesn't. Unfortunately, cd's are not quite as long as ninety minute cassettes and so the editor's scissors had to come into play for a little judicious cutting... Only fifteen minutes, but it had to be done and hopefully without ruining the flow of the event.
While I'm on the subject, those of you who are awaiting the 'Kocaine' album re-issue of 'What Attitude Problem ?' will have to wait a little longer as the four track master of one track has gone missing and when it finally turns up Andy has kindly said he'll re-mix the album totally to get rid of all the compression we used, and so, until I find the master...
Unless otherwise notified all Peasant Poetry Backtrack issues will be available for £3.00 each when available, and so far there are no plans to make them available for download although this might change in the future.
Certain other items will however be available, so keep watching this space for details...
Issue No. 2 will be Grant Meaby's 'From A Fragile Landscape.' Details of which will be posted as soon as...
