Description
Here is your chance to own a frightfully rare album. 1989 World of Pooh: Land of Thirst. The band say 1,000 total copies were made. Both LP and cover are in nice near mint condition. Original lyric insert also in perfect shape and included. "After 28th Day broke up, Manning joined singer/guitarist Brandan Kearney's noise project World of Pooh and turned it into a rock band. The group's sole album, The Land of Thirst, commands high prices from collectors, and with good reason: it's a magnificent record. The terrible tensions within the band are hidden by wan melodies, but come out in the brutal lyrics: "Stay away, your flesh disgusts me/Your attentions are an ugly parody of things I've always wanted" (from Kearney's "Mr. Coffee-Nerves"). Almost every song is a killer, but the best are Manning's "Scissors" (covered by everyone from Peter Jefferies to Yo La Tengo), Kearney's "Playing One's Own Piano" and their collaboration, the simple, tragic "I'm on the Wrong Side." Secret weapon: drummer Jay Paget, who later joined Thinking Fellers Union Local 282."
