Greetings, Having not heard this record in a while, I thought I'd record it from vinyl. I think the result is good! I hope you do as well. Also, of all of the ~5000 records that I own, this one is the thickest vinyl! BEEFY! Enjoy! -Gantz ------------------------------------------------------- Here's some text from the cover: R A T M U S I C F O R R A T PE O P LE (Factual data: The music on this record is 90% new: mostly recorded live at huge parties (gigs?) over the past six years at locations in the bay area like the ex-people's temple. The original Fillmore Auditorium, and a variety of ethnic/pri- vate halls and churches. While keeping one step ahead of the noise police, the perpetrator of these experiments in social deviance calls him- self PAUL RAT.) On the back: Side one D.O.A.: America the Beautiful: Fuck Up Ronnie Oct 31, 1981 Elite Club, San Francisco Flipper: Life Oct 31, 1981 Elite Club, San Francisco Circle Jerks: Live Fast, Die Young May 24, 1982 Elite Club, San Francisco [The Circle Jerks appear courtesy Faulty Products] Bad Brains: How Low Can a Punk Get?: You March 20, 1982 Elite Club, San Francisco Crucifix: Steel Case Enclosure Aug 3, 1982 Secret Studios, San Francisco Side two Dead Kennedys: Forward to Death: I Am the Owl March 20, 1982 Elite Club, San Francisco Black Flag: Scream July 24, 1982 On Broadway, San Francisco T.S.O.L.: Weathered Statues: Sounds of Laughter March 20, 1982 Elite Club, San Francisco Avengers: Cheap Tragedies May 10, 1979 Peter Miller Studios, San Fancisco Dils: Blow Up 1977 San Francisco And then this poignant mesage: Control Through Time and Patterns -We are controlled in time by patterns: Any good prison can illustrate this, and any good assassin or policeman knows that to make a suc- cessful Hit, he must first study his victim's pat- terns. Those who move in patterns can be controlled... or terminated. Music has become a control process. It can function to make boring routine work bearable (like muzak), to market products (things or peo- ple), as a status ritual (opera), or as a safety valve for the known percentage of rebels in a given society (punk rock, raggae). To function, this music depends upon predictable patterns... which reinforce the control process... It is necessary to escape any and all patterns. The way out is through the imagination and dreams -- To pay attention to them, to translate them into actions. And as time runs out we want more out of time: we crave experience that is genuine. We want to feel a pounding of blood, a rush of adrenalin through our veins that cor- responds to our imaginative visions of a real adventure. And somewhere along the way we lost the right to a trance state without censor- ship, among allies -- That trance state which served to disrupt, and break up rigid patterns of body and mind. In a society without meaningful symbols, goals or adventure, it is necessar to elude any and all patterns. What was freedom yesterday is control today. What you hear on this record is an attempt to go out of control. These are exper- imental escape routes, part of the continuing battle for psychic freedom in a world without dreams... A world whose territory and time is being used up fast. It's time to go and stay out of control... -Vale Produced by: Paul Rat David Ferguson Recording: Jim Keylor Mixing: East Bay Ray Chris Michie Scott Chandler Gary Menkor Gary Hirstus Mastering: Fantasy studios, Berkeley, California by George Hown Cover: Olga Gerrard Photography: Erich Mueller Typesetting: Research Typography Album Coordination: Gerry Gerrard Special Thanks: Joel Turtle, Carol Stuart, Ian Ed, Ken Lester, Mike Vraney, Spike, Bill and Scott, Crystal, Joe, SST, Target Video, KPOO, KUSF, KLAX, KFJC, KPFA, KDVS, Big Jim, Rosh Richard, Dream, Aaron, Jerry, Mike, Space Productions, Dog, Mugger, Microwave, Jeff 1982, Go! records
