CONTROLLED BLEEDING 'Distress Signals II' LP (Canada, Artoffact Records, Catalogue #AOF250) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2016 Artoffact Records label limited LP edition (edition of 500 copies total) issuing for the first time the originally intended recordings for what was to become (in different form) the classic 1984 harsh noise cassette release by Controlled Bleeding (originally issued on the British Broken Flag label.)

(NOTE: LIMITED EDITION OF 500 TOTAL - THIS IS THE BLACK VINYL EDITION OF 300 COPIES ONLY!)

'Released on Gary Mundy's Broken Flag label in 1984, the first Controlled Bleeding album was Distress Signals, an almost impossible to find cassette-only album of brutal powernoise and experimentally distorted and tortured vocals. The near hour-long performance is immediate and harsh, and the tape has a kind of holy-grail quality amongst collectors, not least because of the special status of Broken Flag, but also because it has never been properly reissued on either CD or vinyl.

Part of the mystique of Distress Signals comes from Controlled Bleeding's founder Paul Lemos, who, while putting together this reissue series in conjunction with Artoffact Records, insisted that there are actually two Distress Signals recordings, both very different from each other, and one which has never been heard or released in any form. In fact, according to Lemos, the second Distress Signals is the one which was originally intended for Broken Flag, but due to an error or oversight, a mistake in dubbing or who knows what, the audio on the Broken Flag tape is not the performance intended.

From this came the idea to release two editions of Distress Signals:

Distress Signals I - a completely remastered and restored edition of the original, rare Broken Flag tape.

Distress Signals II - Lemos' intended recording, never before released and quite different from the Broken Flag tape.'
