Legendary guitar player Peter Laughner played in such bands as Rocket From The Tombs, Friction, Pere Ubu, Mr. Charlie, Cinderella Backstreet, Peter & The Wolves and The Blue Drivers, he also helped to inspire the sounds and songs of the Dead Boys. After Rocket From The Tombs called it quits, he and David Thomas formed the ground breaking Pere Ubu and created some of Cleveland's most primitive sounds that the 70's ever heard, some of which can be sampled here in their rawest form. Songs like "Amphetamine" and the ever fucking classic "Life Stinks" show Laughner recording these demos in some crazed altered state. Also included here is a demo recording of "Ain't It Fun" which was made famous by the Dead Boys, as well as "Baby's On Fire". This even has a home tape recorded in his bedroom the night before his death. All 15 tracks are absolutely essential despite not being recorded in the best of studios, not that it really fucking matters cause it's the energy and passion that counts, and that's all this guy was about. Long live the BB King of erratic punk rock blues guitar.
