Description

Before the hits, before the camp, the Tubes were a San Francisco rock band trying to make it. For those of you lucky enough to have seen The Tubes in the 70’s, this is the disc to remind you of their creative zaniness, unique style, and incredible musicianship! This collection of early demo rarities could not be further from their commercial success of the early 1980’s. This band was truly ahead of its time. This album features several cuts from the Tubes vaults that never made it onto a record, and some that probably kept them from even getting a record deal (if I may paraphrase from the liner notes). Here are some songs that take us back to the bands earliest days and tracks like White Punks on Dope; Hoy Boy; Mutated; Empty Shoes; TV; The Whittler; Haloes; Mondo Bondage; Poland Whole and more, are all released for the first time. Some bands were meant to be seen and not heard, and some bands were meant to be heard but not seen. The Tubes was meant to be both seen AND heard! Hard to tell which was more important. The Tubes really knew how to put on a show, and this album is more proof that excellent musicianship, theatricality, and creativity won’t guarantee commercial success but just might generate the well-deserved cult status that puts most other bands and music to shame. This release is a gift for the Tubes enthusiast.
