PERE UBU
DRIVE HE SAID 1994 - 2002 (BOX SET) (FIRE RECORDS)
4LP hard box, includes fold out poster and download postcard. "Drive, He Said 1994-2002" brings together the albums "Raygun Suitcase' (1995), "Pennsylvania' (1998), "St Arkansas' (2002) and a 12" disc of extras, "Back Roads".
"Back Roads" features live studio, jam sessions and newly remixed tracks, including 'Electricity' (with the original vocals that were discarded at the time as 'too brutal'), an outtake from "Pennsylvania' and a live recording of "SAD.TXT", 1998.
With current band members Michele Temple, Robert Wheeler and Steven Mehlman joining David Thomas here for the first time, it is a defining period for Pere Ubu.
All studio albums and the 12" disc "Back Roads' were remixed and engineered by David Thomas and Paul Hamann at Suma, in June 2016.
