SPK

On the off chance that someone is holding onto an original 'Factory' 7", I am in the market.

Yes, I already have 'Auto da fe', and was listening to it recently after a long break. It comes across as very accessible, some of it, at this distance. 'Leichenscri' was always my favourite, but I used to think 'IOU' was way too heavy, 20 years ago. Now I think it's quite interesting!

Have you ever seen a copy for sale? I know a guy in Austin who owns the "Meat Processing Section" 7". I have never, ever seen any of the other 7"'s available
anywhere!

I've only seen 'Factory' once on ebay a while back. I have 'Meat Processing' section, as well as the other two 7"s the band released in 1979. 'Factory' and 'Solipsik' are the two I don't have but the latter isn't a favorite.

The early 7"'s turn up now and again on EBay and sell for hundreds of dollars. There is a copy of "No More" floating about that is signed "To Steve" .. if you ever see that - it's mine!!! (stolen from me in 1983)!!

I agree on this 100%. I prefer IOU over ADF these days.

Leichenschrei of course is their finest hour. Coming from a Metal background, hearing this for the first time was a revelation, never heard anything as disturbing before and crazy if you think how tame Metal and Punk were in comparison at this point in time. I have the re-release with the painting of a lunatic on the cover, coincidentally painted in a psychiatric asylum just 200m away from where I live, at the beginning of the last century.

Going through the Working Cycle Transmission bootleg set.  I think it is a bootleg?  Seems so, but it's nicely done.  Deservingly so, too.  The vinyl version is listed at Discogs, but the CD set is not.  Maybe they haven't deleted the vinyl box yet?  It's good and very interesting.  Recommended.

It was a "séminaire" with Graeme Revell in Paris, some talk about the old days i suppose. If i had lived in Paris i´d gone for sure.
Here´s some info in French: https://sv-se.facebook.com/events/425236981373614/

The new SPK 7" box from Vinyl On Demand is very nice, stoked to have these three records after all these years...

Obviously of interest to this forum (and thread), is that the new issue of Noise Receptor Journal will feature a long form interview with Tone Generator (aka Dominic Guerin) who was in SPK during the early seminal period of the group and who contributed massively to the concept and sound. He talks extensively of this earliest period of SPK as well was subsequent activities in Last Dominion Lost. New issue is due out in August.
