Peter Laughner Box Set?

[Clint]

So is there any news as to when the Laughner box set on Smog Veil is actually coming out?  The one talked about here: http://terminal-boredom.com/forums/index.php?topic=9633.msg265527#msg265527

There's nothing on the Smog Veil site about it, but a blog post from a year prior said this:

clevo-centric chicago-based label smog veil reports that their long-anticipated peter laughner box set is now due for a november 2010 release. from their facebook page:

The delays are due to the fact that we keep unearthing newly found recordings; plus, each interview we do leads us to 2 more people we have to talk to. As it stands, I think we've exhausted the audio search and am awaiting studio dupes of 5 newly found reels. I'm also awaiting delivery of one last reel. About 125 songs at this point, chosen from about 300.

Can somebody just pay me for the "Take the Guitar Player For a Ride" 2-LP set on Tim Kerr Records that I bought when it came out in 1990-something. No, I'm not trying to sell it, I just think somebody should pay me for owning it!  I'M FUCKING GREAT!

Wish I still had my "Final Solution" 7 that Laughner autographed "Others talk, we do."

Gosh, I really was rather drunk last night. Peter would be proud.

When/why did you sell? That's priceless!

We are doing a series of LP releases, starting in April, 2011 with the Ann Arbor Tapes, a recording made in 1976.  All releases will include amazing liners and photos.  Also, we plan 2 more releases in the series in 2011, a reissue of Notes On A Cocktail Napkin and recordings Peter made prior to January 1, 1970.

All the releases will probably be compiled onto 1 CD at the end of 2011.  The series will of course continue on beyond 2011.  2012 plans include the complete Fins recordings (we found 6 more songs besides the SOL 7").

Been listening to Take the Guitar Player for a Ride a lot recently and was reminded of this thread and the forthcoming reissues. Will the Ann Arbor Tapes LP still be coming out on 'Record Store Day' ? And what's after that? Any update is appreciated.

i interviewed frank from smog veil for the newest issue of ngl, which should shed some light on the situation of these releases.


peter laughner was a saint, and so was val kilmer, appparently.

[Whet Bull]

It's just a joke, mon.

he was young when he died, but he still helped create the first sets from pere ubu and the dead boys, i can totally see where you would get springstein out of that
