You Goddamned Son of a Bitch, part of Rykodisc’s recent reissue series, is a re-mastered Revolting Cocks concert performed on September 4, 1987 at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago.
The majority of the songs found on this double album are taken from RevCo’s debut, Big Sexy Land, which is something of a relief, as the band became increasingly sillier as they progressed into their career.
Whilst the music is a little dated and the quality of the sound recording isn’t magnificent You Goddamned Son of a Bitch is a pretty raucous listen and is indispensable if you have a taste for industrial music or are merely just a fan of Al Jourgensen.
Making the package just that little bit more enticing are two bonus live tracks (“Stainless Steel Providers” and a cover of Public Image’s “P.I.L.”) taken from a 1990 concert in Glascow.
These songs were originally released on 12” and Goddamned Son of a Bitch marks their first appearance on CD.
Originally written for Defunkt magazine and limited to 150 words.
