Title:	First Utterance
Label:	GET BACK (ITALY)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$38.00
Catalog #:	GET 541

2011 repress of this legendary album, originally reissued on Get Back in 1998. Housed in a gatefold sleeve. "The first LP is rock music only by association. Taking British folk as a point of departure, the music twists and oozes as a vile bunch of snakes, pairing gorgeous melodies and expert playing to ecstatically altered vocals and vicious lyrics. Rape, murder, witchcraft and abuse are main ingredients to the menu, which is cooked with raging madness, but still manages to taste delicately composed. One of the very first British folk albums that creates a totally new, dangerous and utterly unique atmosphere." -- Marcel Koopman. The second disc in this Get Back reissue is a 12" EP with 3 bonus tracks from their 1971 7" on Down Records featuring "Diana" (single version) and 2 non-album tracks. The classic weird-folk British album from 1970, infamous for its influence on Current 93 and countless others.

The seminal British progressive rock/folk band Comus is back. Their classic debut album, First Utterance, release in 1971, is on just about anybody who's anybody's list of "Desert Island" records. East Of Sweden is a live CD recorded at the Melloboat Festival in 2008, which was the first time the band had played live in 34 years. They were met with a tumultuous reception and this fantastic CD is a great document from that show. It is also the first release on the Dirter subsidiary imprint Gnostic Dirt, launched by Steve Pittis and David Tibet.
