These original UK pressings cut by George Peckham are fantastic. I have an original UK and US. Both are fantastic and essential (US for country of origin and this U.K. for soundstage). -
This is one of scariest albums ever (along with Current 93 - Nature Unveiled), still after 45 years... -
I'm pretty taken back as to how some of these songs were written in 1978, Fugazi definitely took notes on this one. I have the 2018 Fire Records pressing and it sounds A-Okay... Enjoy! -
Any release after the first album was going to be a notch down but Pere Ubu made a more than decent stab at a follow-up with this austere and strange record of haunting avant art songs. It's an album I bought on the day of elease and I must it that I've never fully plumbd it's depths. It has survived countless collections culls.
One thing I noticed which is quite weird: when I played this on a radio show I used to do, and recorded on Cool Edit (Adobe Auditon).... the audio waveform trace is extremely dynamic, all over the place. Seems completely uncompressed or something. Not that the sound is bad, it's just weird. No other record seems to look or sound like this one. -
Is there a Japanese vinyl pressing, for this?
Sure, I saw an an advert, for one, in RECORDS COLLECTOR, back in the early 1990s

For me PERE UBU was and still is the perfect soundtrack to the stories of Philip K. Dick.
Funny enough I started reading Dick ("Ubik", what a masterpiece!), when I bought
"Dub Housing". Dick and PERE UBU are both very strange in a familiar context. -
An otherwise masterful album a bit tarnished by David Thomas' awful vocals. Though his vocals do manage to somehow add to the surreal atmosphere the album has. -
The first 2 UBU-records could be a
soundtrack to LYNCH's "Eraserhead".
Nobody made music like that before.
