Whitehouse

[Deadpriest]

Ohhh Birdseed Or Racket.

I knew a guy who'd been raped 5 times a week for 2 years (by a babysitter), another non sequitur.

Not Racket, Cruise.

re. replies I had: shit!! I did not know any of that.

Easily BirthDeath Experience and Right To Kill.
Dedicated to Peter Kürten is a close second.

nice to see this getting a proper reissue.

I have what I need to have by Whitehouse except Psychopathia Sexualis. If they reissued THAT I'd probably be able to give one final fuck about them.

about as likely as a Right to Kill reissue I'd say.

Hmm, maybe my ex would want to use the tote bag.

my girls eyes light up when i told her it came with a tote bag. strange creatures.

Thank fuck somebody had the presence of mind to orchestrate a green coloured pressing is all I can say.

That explains the comment someone made to me about the cover of "Halogen". I don't remember exactly what he wrote but I took the comment that quality wasn't great.

I own an original copy of DTPK & was trying to remember what the cover image was.  I'll have to dig it out to check. Looks like some had the blow-up of PK on the sleeve:

I have a friend who had copies of "Halogen"; I'm hoping he still has one left & I can get it at a bit of a discount. I may pick up DTPK depending on what's said about the audio quality. Pretty sure I still have the cd.

Sure hope they get around to "New Britain" next.

Does anyone own this:

The version I have is PK cover, discography on the back with  track listing insert plus a hand-annotated product list. Black vinyl. The sleeve looks like the previous owner had a wrestling match with it so I'll probably pick up the reissue.

How does Cut Hands make you feel? I personally do not share Mr. Bennett's obsession with Africa, but I like the relaxed and digital "aggrient" style he uses rather than typical noise/PE analog techniques.

Well I can tell you that my one obsession in life is Africa, yet I do not appreciate Cut hands. I do in fact like African music just fine and was really excited when I learned of the concept of Afro noise, but shit was that a let down. All the africa theme I need in noise is reflected through late Bizarre Uproar work, thats some interesting stuff. Would be interested to hear some actual p.e. with actual african tribal music samples, the possibilities for a decent theme are just abundant but Cut hands squanders them.
But back to topic Whitehouse is an amazing project and I appreciate basicly everything I've heard so far, Great wite death, Dedicated to Peter Kurten and Halogen being my favorite at the moment.

Didn't notice before, but there was TOTAL SEX released on CD in 2019. Of course, musically, nothing new here. Audio is the same as was in previous Susan Lawly CD. Or the double LP. For collectors, or those who do not have previous versions, this is really nice surprise.

On Susan Lawly page it is titled:
WHITEHOUSE : TOTAL SEX LEGACY CD

Word Legacy doesn't appear on cd. Just legacy edition means it is far more accurate document of the original LP from the 80's! The front cover is original black & white LP design, partially old typewriter emulating font, but mostly just scans of the old tapes. Including some liner notes and reprint of the "screaming mummy" cover version that was originally meant to be for LP. Lyrics printed for total sex and roller coaster.
Oh man, I hope Susan Lawly finally would proceed with CD reissues. As much as I appreciate the neat and stylish CD editions SL did, perhaps even more suitable would be this type of replications of the old LP design!

According to the Susan Lawly website, a CD reissue of Erector is imminent. It looks like they are finally reissuing the albums in chronological order.

I know this is an old topic but seems a waste to start a new WH thread.

Another question for those in the know or with the books and zines, line up for each of the early classics?

I think your best bet is interviews on that, sparse as they can be from that era. Off the top of my head this seems roughly correct? If you REALLY need to know and don't want the time sink of trying to go through old zines either through web archives or physically buying them (which adds a money sink too) you could always try asking PB or WB since they have pretty active socials. They seem like OK dudes, don't think they'd bite your head off over a fan question.

I do share your sentiments about the studio pages being a fair bit incomplete...


And now for something completely different, as I've recently been going through old interviews and I came across this:

Part of these performances, quite surreally, can be heard on a 'Whitehouse Audience Noise Tape' brought out by the Japanese magazine 'IR'. "It's like an hour of sounds from between and after songs. It's pretty incredible, everything's on it apart from music, all edited non-stop from 1982 up until now."

https://www.discogs.com/Whitehouse-11-Years-Of-Live-Action/release/1471433

In all my years I've never heard anyone bring this up, ever. It honestly sounds like a cool tape.
