Savage Republic
Tragic Figures
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1982 1st Pressing Of This Rare, Very Limited Pressing, #242. This Is Really Their Most Atypical Full-Length Studio Album, Emphasizing Harsh, Grating Vocals And Instrumental Drones To A Greater Degree Than Anything Else In Their Catalog. The Throbbing Percussion, Though, Would Continue To Be An Element In Everything They Did, And Quasi-Middle Eastern Melodic Motifs Begin To Assert Themselves At Times. Be Aware That This, Like All Of Savage Republic's Work, Is Not A Collection Of "Songs" In The Conventional Rock Sense, Although Many Have Vocals; It's More Like A Collection Of "Pieces" Designed To Establish Moods And Textures. Includes Postcard, Large Credit Insert With Original Band Name "Africa Corps" Crossed Out, Two Photocopied Inserts, One With Band Photo Hand-painted, Plus A Small Two-sided Insert Featuring Artwork By Drummer Mark Erskine, Brown Envelope With IPR Letter, And IPR Mail order Insert.
