Man Or Monkey
All songs and instrumental pieces were improvised. Sides A and B: Our idea was to go to the studio with only a body of texts to use if, where and when Christoph was moved (except for the words to "Our Colourful Culture", which were written specially in response to the music already recorded), but to improvise all structures and arrangements; in other words to produce instant collective compositions and arrangements. All the tracks on these records are essentially live recordings. (There are a few overdubs on sides A and B, edits on A1 and A3, B1 and D1). Sides C and D: All the music except D2 was recorded direct onto halftrack master. Recorded between 5th and 16th August 1982 at Sunrise Studios (CH-9533 Kirchberg) (except "Man Or Monkey", which is a live recording made direct on-to half-track master and simultaneously mixed). Comes with a lyrics sheet. This is the original issue with black labels. The runout on side A uses the symbol X to strike trough the letter B.
