2-song Promo - cassette tape1982

Released by The Dancing Cigarettes
Bloomington, IN - 1982

Promotional tape for clubs and radio stations  •  In the October '82 issue of New York Rocker, Byron Coley wrote:  "Another aural epic from the Dancing Ciggies, 'Razor Hand' opens with some Arto / Ubu ramblings, then soon locks into some cool weird whiteboy funk. The most incessantly creepy thing is the 'razor hand—raise your hand' lyric that conjures up scenes of juvenile horror. The Lora Logical 'Burn in Heaven' also shows no shortage of musical ideas, as you'd expect."  •  Cover art / design by R. Godollei, Cigarettes
