ANOTHER GREEN WORLD (1975), TAKING TIGER MOUNTAIN (1974), HERE COME THE WARM
JETS (1973), MUSIC FOR FILMS VOLUME II (1983), and the 12" EP RARITIES
(1983).
Note: the order of the tracks is different on the CD pressing.
Note: there is another pressing (DJ-only) with different tracks:
1976 - Polydor E.G (UK), EGM1 (LP)
but since the tracks (4,17) are not listed on it, it is likely that Fred
Frith does not appear on that pressing at all.
Note: the 2002 (?) Russian edition is limited to 500 copies.

1981 (?) - Parachutist (USA), PA-7th (CT)
2001 - House of Chadula (USA), 1978A (CD)
Note from Eugene Chadbourne: Many people have been asking for this out of
print album that featured an all star group of American and European
improvisers attempting to come to grips with one of my most ridiculous
compositions. The master tape is long gone and vinyl copies so full of pops
and scratches in the quiet parts that a re-release has been out of the
question. More to my liking was the 1981 cassette version of the composi-
tion, in which I edited together sections of the 1978 [read '1979'] version
with a later performance as well as all kinds of other insanity. This really
captured the essence of the score, an out and out fast-moving barrage of
genres, soloists and absurd sound events, but it has also been out of print
with no master tape in existence. From the Charles Goodman archive in
Oceano, California, comes a good quality copy of this 1981 version, which I
have cleaned up slightly for the new CD release, making sure very little of
the original 1978 [read '1979'] album was left out. People are often asking
me what my favorite release is, well this version of The English Channel is
definately one of the most insane things I ever created and something I
never get tired of listening to. I hope customers feel the same way.

1996 - Plag Dich Nicht (Austria), 002 (CD)
Note by Jon Rose: This record is an edited version of the piece TECHNO MIT
STORUNGEN that took place on 11/11/95 as part of the festival "music unli-
mited" at Alter Schlachthof Wels, Austria. The original piece lasted two and
a half hours. The DAT used for this CD was recorded directly off the mixer,
consequently there were some problems with the balance and sound on the tape
which would not have been audible in the concert space. So to compensate,
this document you are listening to now has been a little "produced" using
standard studio techniques... Hopefully it retains the spirit of the origi-
nal performance.
