Stephen Stapleton / Peter Cogle – An Afternoon with Victor Dimisich [LP]

"Siltbreeze is proud to once again release a critical, unearthed treasure pertaining to the legendary Christchurch, NZ scene, PRE Flying Nun. Much like the The Spies 'The Battle Of Bosworth Terrace' lp (2013), this archival collection of tracks titled 'An Afternoon With Victor Dimisich' has never before been released & it's historical significance cannot be overestimated. We don't want to give too much away-Bruce Russell's brilliant summation/insert lays it all out-but we will share what Roy Montgomery (who was there) fired off wryly by way of a press release;

Which of the following is true?:
These songs were captured in demo form primarily to flesh out the threadbare Pin Group repertoire in early 1981.
These songs were captured in pared back form because certain people felt that some very tender Cogle/Stapleton works were being lost in VDB steamroller mode.
These songs were captured in rough form because four men in their twenties had a spare afternoon, a crate of beer that needed drinking, and a soft spot for dark ballads.
All of the above.

One time pressing, amazing timestamp insert included."
