Spec Records, pragVECFeaturing: Foetus
No-Cowboys (LP)
1980 truly great and underrated privately released album of leftfield experimental electronic new wave featuring Jim Thirlwell (Foetus).
condition (record/cover): NM / NM
Two panel cover in original plastic bag with red tape.
Post-punk enigmas, pragVEC never released an actual album as such, but they did release a fake compilation called No Cowboys, which was filled with tracks by themselves (pragVEC) masquerading as fake groups with names like 'The Couch Potatoes' and 'Vince Quince And His Rialto Ballroom Detectives'. Hi-jinks indeed? It also features Jim Thirlwell on the Wasp Synth, in the days before he became a Foetus; his work never got better than this. Experimental proto-indie Art-rock of the highest caliber.
