As a 15yr old in 1978 I remember sitting with Peter Shelley upstairs at the 'Factory' in Hulme, Manchester, watching Pere Ubu on stage while Peter explained the concepts behind Alfred Jarry's 'Pataphysics' to me and expounded upon 'Ubu Roi'...ah gilded days of youth!
we need to write The True Story of punk and what it meant [so so much] what it did [so so much] how real it was [so so real] and the art behind it all as well as the actual real revolution and destruction it evoked and created. when punk came along i was married, loading lorries full time as my dayjob and perilously close to having kids and locking down into this narrow reality. punk was that 'nuclear reaction' that wiped all of that out. and all these years later i am still creating, still not working, and sitting on the outside looking in with the same old scowl on my face whilst i make my art.
Shitr!
Ah indeed yes!
The medre medre is what at the cabaret Voltaire they used to interject between each line of a poem. It is best translated or transliterated as "shitty shitty "
For a magnificent example of Pata physics give Robert Wyatts "Rock Bottom " not nit nock nit not Nok alife my larder. And so on and so forth.
Still sounding as fresh as the day it was born! ☠
Produced by the late Tim (Mister) Wright who also played bass and most of the guitar tracks on this marvelous record.
When John Peel heard FINAL SOLUTION (on the max's kansas city '76 compilation LP) he played it on the BBC, thereby creating a demand for a Pere Ubu tour in the UK.
RIP
Very well produced, too. Instruments and vocals sound right like you're there, and very stereophonic, too.
Thanks for the info! As a new fan, I love youtube to find the real deal of people in the know.
John Peel was a one in a billion talent. An ear for the inner soul of the music. He is missed. Check out the Yazoo session from 1982 (ua-cam.com/video/n0i4TSISJJQ/v-deo.html) going between genres was natural for him.
Pere Ubu is still my favorite band. My ex-husband was in a band with Tom Herman, the guitar player, in the '80's, after Tom left Ubu.
Tripod Jimmy?
@@Nicks66Service Yes, Tripod Jimmie!
@@dianeh4941 Bueno! My memory is not as poor as I think. Thanks!
One of the very greatest rock songs EVER.
Sad to say, when Pere Ubu first hit my teenage ears back in the late 70s, I wasn't much of a fan. I would like to go back in time and kick my younger self's ass.
T rue,had them on a compilation tape and always meant to get back to them.what a gem.Ah LIife.
Dude? Oh well, better late....
This is just one of those songs. It's so good, I find it difficult to believe that it even came into existence. Played at top volume at the right kind of gathering, this song is going to blow minds and maybe change some lives.
@jaybone23 agreed..it changed mine
u r in the right side men
It's not too late, changing mine in 2020 amen! Cheers from Toronto
This song blows any thing away
Vero
1978 and still avant garde!! As a DJ in that time I open my house with this song!
Went to art school in clevo during these years, what a treat these guys were. Love you all peer Ube, especially tony!!
awesome! I gotta know, what was Ubu Dance Party like live? That one really sucked me in.
The best cover of Summertime Blues ever!
The voice of disconnected youth everywhere.
Absolutely brilliant song.
They were a big influence on the Bunnymen's guitarist, Will Sargeant. If I hadn't just read his memoir, Bunnymen", I'd never have known what an impression they made on the would-be post-punks when they played Eric's in Liverpool in 1976 (as did DEVO, Cramps, Pretenders. etc. from OH, who sowed musical seeds in the UK back then). Excited to delve into Pere Ubu now.
The groove in this song really reminds me of NEU!
krautrock konnection!
Beautiful vocal harmonies played against David Thomas screaming
"SOLUTION!!!" Perfect.
Let us now praise synthesizer genius Allen Ravenstine, who has no equal in rock music, not even close
He's not on this song, though, is he?
Allen Ravenstine briefly left Pere Ubu between November 1975-May 1976 (as he did not want to tour) and was not part of the 'Final Solution' or 'Cloud 149' sessions, which included Dave Taylor on EML ElectroComp synthesizer and Ace-Tone organ. Yet, in an interview, Allen Ravenstine apparently heard a live performance, rough mix or demo of 'Final Solution' and suggested that the sound after the lyric 'guitar's gonna sound like a nuclear destruction' at 2m26s should be a vacuum, instead of the explosive sound Dave Taylor planned to use. Allen Ravenstine noted he saw all of the Pere Ubu shows including Dave Taylor and figured he could do that (despite not enjoying live performance), but did not want to miss out on future Pere Ubu involvement and said he wanted to try again in June 1976 (much to Dave Taylor's misfortune). He left Pere Ubu after the 1989 album "Cloudland" and pursued his interests as a flight instructor and an airline pilot for Northwest Airlines. Allen Ravenstine later contributed to the Robert Fantinatto's 2014 documentary "I Dream of Wires: The Modular Synthesizer Documentary", which led to two albums in 2013 with Pere Ubu synthesizer technician Robert Wheeler: "City Desk" & "Farm Report", plus solo albums "The Pharoah's Bee" (2015), "Waiting For The Bomb" (2018), "Crossing Daylight" (2022) and "Terminal Drive" (2017) with Cinderella Backstreet bassist Albert Dennis, which was from 1975 and led to Allen Ravenstine being asked to join Pere Ubu.
Everything about this song is perfect. The guitar solo at the end makes it my favorite song ever
So underrated, we should make them famous now itwont go to their heads?
It’s not often I discover such awesome music. Consider me pere ubu’s newest fan
Love at first hearing, around 1983..
Only Cleveland in the '70s. Thanks and blessings.
This came out in '85...
@@KingGhidorah_Indeed and by then Laughner had been dead for eight years. This album was a collection of the band's early stuff from the 1970s.
This song is almost too good to be true, most certainly way ahead of it's day.
Extremely original. Came out 1976.they still play it in 2018. Needs to be added to the playlist on Smooth Up The Ass Fm Australia.
Still listening to this 100 carat gem of a song in Summer 2020.
2024 ... it works still :))
@@antoinev9733 Thanks. I thought Covid or lack of toilet paper in 2020 was going to do me in so I put the year on my comments (for posterity, lol). Now, I find myself constantly editing my shortsighted 2020 posts. Be safe and take care of yourself & your loved ones.
@@LenapeSF 😁 respect friend , take care too 😊
@@antoinev9733 Back atcha, bro. Keep listening to all the cool music. I'm constantly finding groups I overlooked back in the day. Better late than never!
@@LenapeSF Right, all a state of mind to keep and keep and keep ... Sometimes i should have pity for m'y kids ... Thé day ill go in the grave from Faure's requiem to ... Père Ubu they better plan 3 days apart 😂😂 😂😂
I sent Steve Effinger the 45 of this when it came out and he has a version of it on YT. Wow was I hated in college for playing this. HAAAATRED!!
You shoulda seen 'em in Cleveland dives in the winter. It was gruesome.
Wish I'd been there.😠 Shit!
And bless the person in the comments of another copy of this who pointed out "misdirection//missed erection."
I first heard this in late 1970-s. Loved it ever since. Goes for the Terminal Tower album
The girls won't touch me
'Cause I've got a misdirection
Living at night isn't helping my complexion
The signs all saying it's a social infection
A little bit of fun's never been an insurrection
Mamma threw me out till I get some pants that fit
She just won't approve of my strange kind of wit
I get so excited, always gotta lose it
Man that send me off
Let them take the cure
Don't need a cure
Don't need a cure
Don't need a cure
Need a final solution
I don't need a cure
Don't need a cure
I don't need a cure
Need a final solution
Buy me a ticket to a sonic reduction
Guitars gonna sound like a nuclear destruction
Seems I'm a victim of natural selection
Meet me on the other side, another direction
Don't need a cure
Don't need a cure
Don't need a cure
Need a final solution
Don't need a cure
Don't need a cure
Don't need a cure
Need a final solution

Love the "Sonic Reduction" line. Little nod to the RFTT days I'd imagine.
bass going off hell yer gold
You know what, my very favorite part of this song is @3:34, where the lead lead guitar comes in, and says "I'm gonna take this baddass song and make it perfect".
They have always been my favorite band,
Wow!
Our band did this as a cover....absolutely the best groove!!!
I remember Cleveland back then. Standing with my friends after just rocking my ass off 4 am. Thought about walking across the lift bridge, but then it went clunk. . . Uhoh. Cuyahoga river mouth at 4am. . .
God, that section from 2.55 on is just devastating....
First time i heard this song it was done by living colour live at cbgb's bootleg. First time hearing this LOVE IT!!!!
Incredible song !
2 my ears pere ubu is holyday of happiness
saw them in the early 90's opening for the pixies, they were awesome! quite a stage presence
Shawn Tuthill Pere Ubu and Pixies go together like peanut butter and jelly
Yes remember seeing them both at the Kilburn National in London around then. Both were absolutely brilliant!
Pere Ubu completely slayed Pixies in Lawrence, KS on that tour.
SIMPLY A MASTERPICE
this is a great band.
Great track
so so great what a wonder of a band(and big Thomas).
Saw them at Jay's Longhorn in 1976, I think when they were promoting their first album!
Cool! UbuProjex says Pere Ubu performed at Jay's Longhorn in Minneapolis on April 1, 1978 and again on October 18, 1978.
Brilliant.
Love this !!
best album ever.Ubu at their finest.
Ahead of its time
I was looking weird music like Beefheart, came up with Ubu. Sadly did not give it enough time or something. Would have loved this band then, still like it today thou.
where has this been!^3
LOVE THIS LOVE IT .....
Fucking outstanding.
couldn't get this out of my head today
Amazing lyrics and a guitar break that rips off the top of your head!
@Paul Davis Peter Laughner..what might of been
Keir Starmer plays this in The Thatcher Room watching Ange dance.
Found him thanks to the Comsat Angels back in 1980
i love songs that have noisy shit happening in them, like this and "Baby's on Fire" Eno
XTC temporary
good fucking song
Superb stuff but I love Rocket From The Tombs version as much.
WOW {still...)
oh yes, Peter Murphy covered this, thought I'd heard it before
You might care to give Swedish band Bob Hund's cover version 'Ett fall och en lösning' ('A case and a solution') a chance. You can also find several live versions. Still, not as inspired as Pere Ubu's 1976 single.
Check out The Honolulu Mountain Daffodils cover..........awesome!
Indeed
Came here from Swedish band Bob Hund's cover 'Ett fall och en lösning'
They played postpunk before punk.......Ohio bands rules! rip stiv lux peter and a lots more
Anybody remember Peter Murphy doing this on the Dennis Miller late night show?
BON SANG!
BON SANGGGG
based song
pretty crazy.
Living Colour did a kickass cover of this, but I dig the charm this version has
It's "She just don't approve of my strange kind of wit," dude!
And history tells us 'punk' started w/ the pistols..
All roads go through the LAND
Peter Murphy should've known better than to cover something already perfected.
ToMarPro too bad his version is way better in every way kinda like ziggy stardust
@@jesseandfriends1 the production on this is unparalleled my friend.
This stuff goes well deep crazy but recorded in a weird basement like its smelly punk. I would say it works, for me it does. Lekker lekker
Its just not long enough to give me the aural trip I neeeed!
Looks like downtown E9th in the late 70s wintertime.
living colour did a great cover on it
Conducting & mobiling SIMULATED
Take THAT, Bieber!
Who else was brought here by Bob Hund?
I’d say this song is about being drunk in love.

There is a good version of Honolulu Mountain Daffodils.

I prefer the original, but this one is not bad.
Have you watched this cover:
ua-cam.com/video/PDRYBlKm-BA/v-deo.html
A view from ! 1979 !
She just wanted proof of my strange kinda width
i think you might be joking but just in case it is "she just wont approve of my strange kinda wit"

Flat Black Allure
opening, what a sad commentary.
Peter Murphy covered this song pretty badly but he said his version was better than the original!!!
He did a live version with Trent Reznor and Tunde Adebimpe (lead singer of TV on the Radio). I was hoping Trent Reznor would have added vintage synthesizer. A more faithful performance is the cover by Swedish band Bob Hund 'Ett fall och en lösning' ('A case and a solution'). They also have several live versions. Very good, but still not as good as Pere Ubu's 1976 single.
Do Pixies owe these guys anything?
military deconstruction
" Social infection ".
Or you could listen to Ed Sheeran.
Reminds me of WIRE. Great!
