Very limited indies only new yellow amp red vinyl edition. Culled from three 1985 gigs in the UK during a transitional and transcendent time in the bands story, Sonic Youths The Walls Have Ears appeared disappeared as a 2LP set in 1986, not just a live album but an artful tapestry full of live experimentation with songs, betweensong tape segues, darkness, humor and audio verit. Its now issued for the first time officially under the bands auspices. The 85 shows were the second time the band appeared on UK soil, Brits now getting juiced to the mythos of the emerging guitarslinging American independent underground an art punk band from NYC sporting casual attitudes and tees sporting Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, and Prince made some good press copy on top of their bludgeoning stage appearance. Paul Smith of the newlyfounded Blast First label acted as an overseas diplomatic envoy for Sonic Youth through their SST years as well as issuing their classic 1988 Daydream Nation outside the USA. However the Smithproduced bootleg of their 85 UK gigs surfaced much to everyones surprise, just before EVOL was to be released. It turned out to be a marker of the groups dissatisfaction that ultimately led to the releases deletion, and the band and Smith parting ways after Daydream. In this 2LP set brimming with primitive classics like The Burning Spear, Death Valley 69, and Im Insane uncredited on sleeve, segues and live guitar changes ooze together threaded by Madonna tapes and vocal loops off the board somewhat a necessity for distraction until the band had a full fledged stage crew to prepare guitars. The first two sides of Walls are massive, cavernous, with newlydrafted drummer Steve Shelley.

Keeping The Secret Test Pressing Signed and Numbered Vinyl
As soon as it became apparent that Symposium were going to release a Best Of album 2022s Do You Remember How It Was, we knew that it was almost inevitable there would have to be a followup companion piece, which now arrives in the shape of Keeping The Secret, offering fourteen of the most special bsides and rarities carefully curated and compiled in one place.Keeping The Secret began to take shape when Symposiums entire archive of recorded output comprising over 800 pieces of DATs, CDs, cassettes, original master tapes and videos was somehow miraculously located untouched and gathering dust in a small room at Warner Brothers archive warehouse.All of these Bsides were recorded in a white hot fervour in various studios across London, with whatever tools, producers and studios were available, inbetween the excitement of tours, TV appearances and single releases. Sometimes they were a way of realising existing songs that the band desperately wanted to capture on tape, and other times it was a way of experimenting and letting loose.The album comprises fan and band favourites, including songs never before available on vinyl or digital. We know how much some of these songs mean to our fans often more than single and album tracks so we knew this had to be special.Previously only available on a limitededition vinyl single, I Like To opens the album an explosion of punk intent, its one of the first songs the band ever wrote and played together, and also opened the demo tape sent to London venues to get the band their first gigs in 1995.Easily Scared is possibly the oldest fan favourite of the bunch, and was screamed into the void of a hundred toilet venues around the country before anyone knew who Symposium were. The title came about when one of Wojteks old work bosses at W.H.Smiths accused him of being easily scared, and Wojtek determined then and there to quit his job and never get another one.A song created when Hagop locked himself in the control room of the studio with all of the acoustic guitars he could muster, Mairamout meaning sunset in Armenian brings the album to a suitably reflective and emotional end.From the American hardcore infused Ode To The Frogs, the epic widescreen rock of Serenade The Idiot, the psychopathic Jim referencing Ross and Wojteks obsession with The Doors, nods to Nirvana Cartwheels and Iron Maiden Fluorescent, to the final song in a ska trilogy of songs whose titles feature nowhere in their lyrics Carnival the others being Puddles and Fizzy, everything a Symposium fan could want is all here in one place for the first time. Turn it up and enjoy
