BRIAN ENO - DAVID BYRNE/MY LIFE IN THE BUSH OF GHOSTS EGLP 48 (-81) UK

This has been debated and written about ever since first release so I don't think I can add anything on the background or making. It's one of those albums that keeps giving year after year, no matter from what angle you approach. Historic and experimental, heartbreaking and funny, making statements but yet in a way indifferent - suitable for dancing as well as close listening. It has been released with a number of diverse mixes and/or trackings through the years. After first issue they got complaints from a group calling the track "QU'RAN" blasphemic. For some reason they listened and decided to withdraw it and replace the track with a B-side - "Very Very Hungry" - and at the same time do some further work on the sound. So "QU'RAN" is only available on the first LP press and first edition CD (1986). It's a pity - this first release had perfect audio already and that is one of the best numbers. 1:st US on Sire (SRK 6093) Premiere UK with label as shown here and thin fully laminated cover. (ÄNÖ*) (FÖF*)
