Comments for Laughner, Peter, Take the Guitar Player for a Ride

The material is of reasonably good quality, recorded at gigs, with the exception of ME AND THE DEVIL BLUES. The violin accompaniment on CALVARY CROSS was most likely contributed by Sue Schmidt, as was the back-up vocal on DON''T TAKE YOUR LOVE AWAY. In the liner notes that second-vocal credit goes to Debbie Smith, who did play bass.

Peter Laughner founded Cleveland`s Rocket from the Tombs,which spawned Pere Ubu and the Dead Boys. This CD providesa good collection of previously impossible/incrediblydifficult to find material. Laughner died at age 24 in1977.
