Rev. Jim Jones

Thee Last Supper (1984)

A Thee Beginning
B Thee End?

(Written on cover): Recorded by person or persons unknown during thee revolutionary mass suicide at Jonestown, Guyana on November 17 & 18, 1978 of members of thee Peoples Temple of thee Disciples of Christ(whoever he was). This event was directed, stage managed and instigated by thee Rev. Jim Jones. Thee audio quality is, needless to say, not so much hi-fi as low-fi. It does remain however a unique document of thee audible words spoken by thee Rev. Jim Jones and thee participants of this action as it took place.
Thee original recordings now reside in certain files in Washington DC, USA. Those who do not remember thee past are condemned to repeat it. Thee LP was originally issued in 1984 by thee World Satanic Network System (W.S.N.S.) in conjunction with Monte Cazazza and T.O.P.Y. It serves as a finite and clearly defined expample of submission to religious dogma, and control by an insatiable ego. Thee root of social control was acted out to its ultimate conclusion. A gift to a supposedly loving god. Thee original edition numbered 789* copies, one for each dead body at Jonestown. These were picture discs in black and white, hand-numbered in gold. This new edition is unlimited. It is a part of our MODERN ANTHROPOLOGY SERIES.
For thee realisation of this project, or how thee death tapes came to life:
American Connection: Monte Cazazza
London Connection: Genesis P. Orridge
Satanic Connection: Vagina Dentata Organ
*Note: Although most books suggest over 900 bodies thee official Washington/C.I.A. report states 789. It was suspected by those compiling this LP that they ought to know!

Tiny Lights was a music group formed by John Hamilton (guitar/vocals) and Donna Croughn (vocals/electric violin) in 1985. Original members include Dave Dreiwitz (bass/trumpet), Jane Scarpantoni (cello) and John Mastro (drums). Based in Hoboken, New Jersey, the group released a total of seven albums, two of which were later released on Psychic TV's Temple Records. From 1988 to 1994 Tiny Lights toured the United States extensively. Other members include Stuart Hake (cello), Andy Demos (drums), Catherine Bent (cello), Andy Burton (piano, organ), and Ron Howden (drums—formerly the drummer for Nectar).

The group's members employed a rich array of instrumentation, including cello, electric violin, trumpet, soprano saxophone, tabla drums and bass clarinet. Improvisation was a constant feature of their live performances. One critic has memorably described the band as "Sly and the Family Partridge."


Prayer For The Halcyon Fear 1987

B1 Sweet Solutions
B2 Painted Skies
B3 Chesterfield Gorge
B4 Blue Dot Cleanser

Absolute Agogo's reissue of Tiny Lights' 1985 debut (OOP) may be the finest bit of the band's work. Their first album is a blend of orchestrated folk and chirpy pop songwriting that incorporates the attitudes and aesthetics of New York's punk and art-rock scenes to such an extent that it seems, in retrospect, like some sort of new-wave chamber-pop. Rougher, freer recording gives no hints at the brushed-up slickness that hampered many of the band's late-period albums; from the pop opener "Flowers Through the Air" to the dreamy closer "Blue Dot Cleanser," Prayer for the Halcyon Fear has the continual loose brilliance that's typically only found on debut records. Liner notes by Sonic Youth's first drummer, Bob Bert, give a bit of insight into the scene out of which Tiny Lights came.
