Sonic Youth - Walls Have Ears

 

Limited edition red/yellow vinyl gatefold double LP

Featuring the bootleg compilation of Sonic Youth's 1985 U.K. gigs!

Artful tapestry full of live experimentation with songs, between-song tape segues

Issued for the first time officially with the band's participation and endorsement

Sonic Youth presents the legendary 2LP bootleg compilation of their ripping 1985 U.K. performances. Held up passionately as a fan favorite since its original unsanctioned release in 1986, Walls Have Ears is finally reclaimed, remastered and officially released by the band for the first time in 38 years.

Considered by the band at the time as a transgression of trust and control and an ensuing thorn in their side that continued to forge a life of its own decade after decade on the bootleg market, Walls Have Ears has finally been embraced and presented by the band as the fascinating and exhilarating document that it is: Sonic Youth in a state of incendiary mania, violently yet artfully shedding the skins of their first incarnation and developing vision and solidifying the band lineup and sound that would be central to the rest of their three decade career.

Raw, jagged and going for it full out; experience Walls Have Ears on double LP.
