Thirty years. This is what it has taken for this record to see the light as an official release and on deluxe double vinyl format. Originally released in the early '80s in Australia only as a bootleg cassette, Rubber Never Sleeps has now been properly mastered, sounding remarkably improved and reviewed by The Scientists. This deluxe edition is accompanied with texts by Kim Salmon (Scientists, Beasts Of Bourbon, Kim Salmon & The Surrealists), James Baker (Scientists, Victims, Hoodoo Gurus, Beasts Of Bourbon, Dubrovniks), Rod Radjal (Scientists, Hoodoo Gurus, The Johnnys), Tony Thewlis (Scientists, Beasts Of Bourbon, Interstellar Villains, Scoundrelles) and Boris Sujdovic (Scientists, Beasts Of Bourbon, Dubrovniks), all narrating memories, anecdotes, opinions and ideas of that time. This recording compiles the long-lost early "loft tapes" recorded in Perth in the late '70s as well as the beginning of their diabolic '80s swamp noise sound in Sydney. These recordings feature very rare tracks by this seminal combo such as covers of The Modern Lovers, Alan Vega, Troggs, Chuck Berry and Alex Chilton, as well as their long-time classics such as "Frantic Romantic" or "Swampland," among others. A must-have for all Scientists fans. Double 150 gram LP with gatefold sleeve.

"Formed in the West Coast town of Perth, Australia in 1978, the sound of the Scientists contains the entire history of that other West Coast sound...grunge. Worshipped by the American indie scene of the early nineties and beyond, Kim Salmon actually allegedly coined the term 'grunge' to define the Scientists own sound -- although the Scientists perhaps had more in common with the Cramps than Mudhoney. Although the band released their first single in 1979 ('Frantic Romantic'), this compilation focuses on the period from 1982-1984, after the band had set up camp in Sydney and established their signature sound -- beginning with their 1982 breakthrough single ('This Is My Happy Hour' b/w 'Swampland') and their influential Blood Red River EP, and ending with the band's move to London in 1984."

Sedition is an ultra-high quality live recording from the legendary Australian garage-rock punk act, The Scientists. Recorded on May 11th, 2006 at Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, the superior sound-quality plus amazing set list make this album more of a "best of" than simply a live record. The Scientists went through many incarnations in their 9 year history but are remembered mostly for the lineup that existed from 1981 to 1985: Kim Salmon, Tony Thewlis, Boris Sujdovic and Brett Rixon together had the peculiar chemistry that produced the classics Swampland, Happy Hour, Blood Red River mini-LP and We Had Love. With a sound that was swampy, primal and modern-urban all at once -- as much in the tradition of rock and roll and punk rock as it was a rejection of those things, The Scientists' formula was as universal as it was specific to their own experience. They were about what it was like to be young and living in modern times in an Australian urban/suburban environment. The themes of getting wasted on alcohol and drugs, driving round in hotted-up cars, being trapped in crap jobs and paranoia were their subject matter. Machine throb bass and drums with jagged car wreck guitars were their modus operandi. Fitting into no place or time, they spurned all but the most rudimentary and elemental of rock structures along with other people's modes of embellishment. They rejected the contemporary sound and look and so consequently were never able to carry around baggage that would allow them to sound dated. You could put on a Scientists record from this period and not know it was 23 years old! The Scientists might have been overlooked in their own time, but there has been no shortage of younger bands that have cited them over the years. Mudhoney, Nirvana, Jon Spencer, The Von Bondies, The White Stripes, The Drones and scores of others just keep coming along dropping their name. Presented in super-deluxe souvenir packaging (like a moleskin book) with liner notes by Thurston Moore, Jon Spencer, Warren Ellis, Gareth Liddiard and Henry Rollins.
