LSDC&W
Eugene Chadbourne
Fundamental
For those intimidated by the formidable size of the good Doctor's discography, this is probably the best jumping in point. It focuses primarily on his pre-Shockabilly days and features not only that line-up (Mark Kramer, David Licht) but also some of his collaborations with John Zorn and Tom Cora. There's more of his mutant hybrid country/jazz/psychedelic/hoe-down stuff than in later bands/pairings, etc. The Beatles medley simply must be heard to be believed. There's also some early stabs at sound collage in the style that was soon to be a staple of his home recorded output. This has been released by Chadbourne and may vary from the earlier version put out by Fundamental Records in the eighties.

hey, chardman!
i've never heard this one, but been long a fan of chadbourne's. i wonder where this maverick is heading to in times of bush, iraq and the recent lebanon conflict - he's one of the few very political artists that i admire (including robert wyatt), never liked the way jello biafra or michael moore stomped the area.
thanks for this info, i'll think about posting some early stuff of his, though it's all vinyl and a lot of time to do - and i'm getting weak lately with that, it's summer, going out, meeting friends and having time to read malcolm lowry's "under the volcano".
cheers, sir

would be much appreciated if you virtuosos can share his School album(with Zorn) on Chadbourne's parachute label.
