I have been asked a couple of times for more information on this double album, other than buying and enjoying it in the 1980's I can't say much about its background. Here is an extract from the WWW which hopefully provide a bit more information:


Public Castration Is a Good Idea is the first live album by the New York City band Swans, which was originally released as a semi-official bootleg through Some Bizzare Records in 1986. It was recorded from shows in London and Nottingham on the Greed/Holy Money tour in 1986, the first six songs taken from a show at London's I.C.A. Public Castration Is A Good Idea is often regarded as the band's most brutal extant live album. Its song performances are musically quite different from their studio versions: they are typically lower in pitch, harsher and more abrasive. One notable song difference is on "A Screw," which is longer and more minimalist than its studio counterpart.
