Description
Rarer than hen’s teeth on these shores since its release in 1993, Sonic Youth’s ‘Whores moaning’ EP (a cunning skit on Nirvana’s ‘hormoaning’ released the year before) is a five track EP that was only made available in Australia and New Zealand.
Still, for those of you who don’t know the release, the tracks include a couple of covers (‘personality crisis’ by the New York Dolls and ‘Is it my body’ by Alice Cooper) as well as well as two off-cuts from album sessions: ‘the end of the end of the ugly’ (a primitive version of ‘shoot’) and the damn-near essential ‘tamra’ which is an eight-minute spacey instrumental of the type that only Sonic Youth could ever pull off successfully; and all of the tracks work damn well together despite their disparate sources. While no re-master or any other technical jiggery-pokery has taken place, the sound quality of all tracks is still outstanding. Any real Sonic youth fan will have to have this no matter what anyway as a result of its strictly limited format (6000 copies world-wide) and the guilty pleasure of having Kurt’s bizarrely anarchistic artwork in a decent size rather than in miniature in a CD booklet. Finally, there’s also the fact that ‘whores moaning’ provides a timely reminder of Sonic youth’s most popularist period.
This is a limited, beautiful piece of vinyl.
