THOMAS JEFFERSON SLAVE APARTMENTS - Bait and Switch LP
Bait and Switch should be as highly regarded as Damaged, (GI), Back From Samoa or The Modern Dance by fellow Ohioans (?!) Pere Ubu.
First time available in 28 years. Clear vinyl. Long-time shoppers at Strangeworld may own the 2016 reissue of TJSA second LP, Straight To Video.
A massive influence on the sadly-missed Bits of Sh!t (last copies of their Cut Sleeves LP available now at the cheap price, before we import copies from O/S), if you arrived to collect an order during a Melbourne lockdown, chances are you heard Richie blasting this at top volume.
Ron House wails like a nerdy Iggy Pop whilst Bob Sedric (R.I.P.) tears it up Ron Asheton-style and every skinny jeaned squirt who's ever uttered the name "Guided By Voices" should sit up and take note.
"Blow it up before Johnny Rotten gets there / blow it up before Paul Westerberg sits there / blow it up before Steve Albini makes a speech!"
Give Ron House a box of matches and let him set the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alight. He's earned it.
