{"product_id":"paris-1942-paris-1942-cd","title":"Paris 1942 - Paris 1942 [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Difficult as it may be to imagine, there was a time when Sun City Girls did not exist. Prior to the Bishop brothers teaming up with drummer\/shaman Charlie Gocher to form SCG's classic trio lineup, there were various ad-hoc assemblages of local Phoenix-area freaks and weirdos-groups which existed only long enough to play a single gig, open mic or house party before disbanding without a trace. Hatched from this milieu was Paris 1942, a short-lived band formed by guitarist Jesse Srogoncik that included Alan Bishop, Richard Bishop and former Velvet Underground drummer Maureen Tucker.\"Paris 1942 would play only four shows in as many months, but between April and August of 1982, the band would gather several times a week in Tucker's living room, where the group feverishly wrote and rehearsed with a kind of quotidian discipline. While P42 didn't release anything during their brief tenure, a 7\" EP and LP (both self-titled) surreptitiously surfaced on the Majora label in the mid to late '90s. Until now, those two titles-as well as an appearance on Placebo's Amuck comp in late '82-would be the only documented evidence that this improbable, serendipitous and magnificent band ever existed. \"While those expecting P42's music to sound like a tantalizing combination of Sun City Girls' iconoclastic hoodoo havoc and the Velvets' primal drug-chug certainly won't be disappointed, Paris 1942 more often than not transcends even these nearly impossible expectations. Srogoncik's songs, in particular, are a revelation, displaying as much in common with the exuberant raunch of The Gun Club and the chapbook punk of Peter Laughner as they do any of the more obvious touchstones.\"The group's foresight to document and capture this meeting of musical minds-a meeting as unlikely as it was short-lived-provides a missing link between the Velvets and the Voidoids, between the Dead Boys and the Dead C, between ESP-Disk' and DNA. Far more than a historical curiosity, Paris 1942 provides a fresh perspective on an embryonic and sadly vanishing US underground. It is music that blinks at the past and anticipates a thousand possible futures.\" -James Toth (excerpt from the liner notes)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParis 1942\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadhunter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDamon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAncient Time Foretold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnimale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMove Out of Wichita\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatherine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife Is a Killer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConversation with My Girlfriend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoodoo Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePontius Pilate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLions Paw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoy from the North Country\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFossil in My Pants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat I Think I Mean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLisa's Whip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSouthwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBo Diddley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Good Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolsom Prison Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBerlin Mood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWant to\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeroin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe Cracked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet's Hop Trains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRevolution Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKSTM Radio Ad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Light\/White Heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 857661008520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Superior Viaduct\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.21.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59573119451217,"sku":"12840052","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4454282-3444973_856eb19b-fdf4-49c3-885f-56e319789ae7.jpg?v=1779928023","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/paris-1942-paris-1942-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
