Falco, Tav -& The Panther Burns-
Sugar Ditch Revisited/shake Rag (2lp)
The Tav Falco Panther Burns reissue/remaster-series, part II! This one contains the Sugar Ditch Revisited EP (1985) and The Shake Rag EP (1986). Plus a previously unreleased 11-song/45 minute live show from the Messepalast Vienna from 1989. Pristine recording by the ORF. Limited edition 2x180 gram heavyweight vinyl. Foldout-cover featuring the original 12"-sleeves. Full colour printed innersleeves featuring extensive liner notes by Tav Falco himself. Stickered mentioning its contents. The master of a raw and shambolic fusion of rockabilly, blues, and fractured noise, Falco was, along with the Cramps, one of the earliest purveyors of what would come to be known as psychobilly (though his version of the sound lacked the campy horror movie ambience others brought to it), and he anticipated the fractured but hard-hitting blues wailing of the Gories and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion by close to a decade!
