Mars - Rehearsal Tapes And Alt. Takes NYC 1976-78
AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW
EXPECTED RELEASE DATE: FRIDAY 3RD JUNE 2022
Available on vinyl for the first time, Rehearsal Tapes and Alt. Takes NYC 1976-78 are a chronological record of the three years of the pioneering New York no-wave band Mars' existence, the first year of which was spent forming their sound and musical identity under the name China, starting out with a lineup of upright piano, bass, acoustic guitar and percussion before going electric with guitars, bass and drums.
Mars were formed in 1975 by China Burg (guitar, vocals) and Nancy Arlen (drums), Mark Cunningham (bass) and Sumner Crane (vocals). Following the release of their debut 7", '3E' b/w '11,000 Volts,' in 1978, the band appeared on the influential compilation album No New York, alongside DNA, James Chance & the Contortions, and Teeneage Jesus & the Jerks, which helped bring the experimental downtown no-wave punk scene to a wider audience, and inspired generations of bands for decades.
This triple-LP includes the complete Piano Sessions (summer 1976), China To Mars (June 1977), 11,000 Volts (December 1977), No New York alternative takes, Scorn (July 1978), and NN End (November 1978).
