Referred to as "a cross between Throbbing Gristle and Nick Cave" during the band's lifetime, VENUS HANDCUFFS (Susanne Lewis and Bob Drake) got their start in the ranks of Colorado's most far-reaching band, Thinking Plague, and went on to infamy after changing their band's name to HAIL. This disk is their debut duo recording, and well-encompasses an experimental direction which, while somewhat natural for the time in America, has since been sadly overlooked by those who have followed in their wake. This is the first time this classic, experimental-rock recording has been issued on CD; the former vinyl version has been long out-of-print and hungrily sought out by collectors for years. Pain staking-ly re-mastered by Bob Drake for optimum sound quality.
