This may just be one of the great pieces of art masquerading as music.....

In Death It Ends have released a 'live' album from Pendleshire Polytechnic in 1979 - As the band didn't exist then , have never played lived and I'm fairly sure the Polytechnic is not real this is fascinating idea.

The whole album is one continuous track, sort of like a bootleg, the first 4 minutes are the sound of a band tuning up, then the crowd cheers as the band walk on and away we go.

The setlist is a sort of greatest hits (assuming the band had hits) and are slightly different arrangements to the studio versions

There are between track introductions and background crowd noises in the quiet parts but all of it is fake... The CD comes with ticket stub, flyer and poster to complete the package.

The whole concept is utterly brilliant and as such is actually one of the great albums of all time
