Laughing Clowns - Self Titled Ep

After the Saints split in England following the release of their 3rd Lp
Ed Kuepper was first back at work and home in Australia
with his new band the Laughing Clowns.
This Ep was the first release from this incredibly different band
from the saints and yet a band following on from their last release
in a strangely similar direction.
I remember first hearing this at rocking horse records in the city,
when it was still next to King George Square,
one sunny morning, I had got them to play it as I hadn't heard
the band as yet. It was one of those moments you always remember
and when the first track finished I couldn't wait to buy the ep.
This is Different sounding clowns from later versions, with most
of this band not playing on later releases.
Beautiful and haunting with Jeffrey Wegener's trademark sound
stamped on it and some brilliant sax from Robert Farrell
Recorded in Feb 1980, but a few months after the saints implosion
it shows the quite young Ed Kuepper is an artist to be reckoned with.
As a debut its a masterpiece, this is a vinyl rip
I don't think it ever made it to cd.
