Cruel But Fair
3 CD box set. After The Saints split in the UK in 1978, Ed Kuepper returned to Australia to form an even more progressive group, the Laughing Crowns. From 1979 to 1984, over numerous albums, EPs and singles, the Clowns turned out music with it's own dark force and rich, occasionally abrasive textures. Swaggering and punchy horns, melodic piano, dramatic guitar playing and sliding, stretching acoustic bass, all underpinned by frenetic but authoritative drums. Hot Records proudly present a complete anthology of every Laughing Clowns recording which truly stands against the test of time as powerful, innovative, wildly experimental rock. 2005.
