Notes
1. For the Sonic Youth singer's hilarious recollection of his first attendance at a Suicide gig, see Looking for a Thrill: An Anthology of Inspiration (2006, DVD, Thrill Jockey, TJ100).
2. Unsurprisingly, the gap of twenty years between its official vinyl and CD incarnations was filled by an Italian bootleg bearing the unequivocal title Pubblico di Merda.
3. E‐mail conversation with the author, conducted as part of ongoing research around the Belgian punk scene in the 1970s.
4. Many thanks to Will Straw, whose forthcoming article “The Music CD and its Ends” inspired this review more than a passing citation could convey, and also to George Lewis for his helpful suggestions.
