Massacre's only album from their first period, recorded in 1981 by Fred Frith, Bill Laswell and Fred Maher. This reissue plays at the correct pitch, after decades in which it circulated at the wrong one, with six bonus tracks.
Massacre was a guitar trio formed by Fred Frith, who moved to New York after the break-up of Henry Cow, with Bill Laswell (b) and Fred Marr (dr). The album was greeted with surprise and acclaim at the time as the work that steered Frith towards an aggressive, sharp-edged sound based on improvisation. The trio disbanded after one album and reformed in 1998, replacing Charles Hayward on drums, and this time the album is reissued at the correct pitch, as intended by the artist, after being released at the wrong pitch for a long time since the LP was first released. Paper jacket, SHM-CD, latest remastering in 2024, with six bonus tracks.
