Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance [ROUGH 22 UK 1981 24-Bit FLAC] Originally released on Blank Records (001) in 1978 and then Mercury Records in Europe and the UK that same year, this is the second UK release on Rough Trade Records in 1981. The continual line-up changes in Pere Ubu over the years tell us that David Thomas could well be a difficult man to work with. Ripping this record turned out to be one hell of a job too, I began several years ago weeding out much of the background crackle caused by a flaw covering about a fifth of side two. I kept walking away from the wav files and at one stage literally gave up and almost deleted my rips - some of you may recall I did promise this rip back in the old ESWA blog days and eventually was able to share this on ESWA 2.0 in November 2017. My work is complete and here are the results of my restoration, to say I am quite pleased with it is quite an understatement. I have the reissue cd from 2005 as well but don't think the modern remastering...
