The photos on the cover are from their tour and shows the bridge with 'Ubu Cleveland' that they saw as they drove into - what David Thomas THINKS was - Northampton, MA. It's likely that's where all these photos were taken. Seeing their name in graffiti was a source of much excitement for them.

These Official Unofficial Bootlegs - most exclusively available on Bandcamp - are part of the personal collection of David Thomas, remixed in 2021, as part of our series of the band's gig history and that of all other related projex.

Pere Ubu changed my life, and this box contains the incredibly amazing remaster of my favorite Pere Ubu album, their dark work of genius, "New Picnic Time". Their earlier set, "Elitism for the People", contains their masterpiece from this period, "Dub Housing". The most ultimate rock and roll! Crashy88
