Joan of Arse

Joan of Arse - Lost At Sea
slab one . July 17th 1999 . cd

Following their 10" debut, Joan of Arse's first LP was a fine, rambling affair, earning plaudits far and wide. The songs of the Bearded Lady emerged sounding better than ever, brimming with familiar black humour. JG Gollier's superb sleevenotes added to the sense of occasion. The vinyl LP on Julius Geezer quickly sold out, the CD repressed as the record sold beyond our expectations. This LP, with it's songs of loss, booze, love and job-hating, proved the final document of the two-man Arse.
