Monte Cazazza ‎– "At Leeds Fan Club / Scala, London / Oundle School" (Industrial Records ‎– IRC 28) 1980

 The final instalment from that February night at the Scala Cinema in 1980 has surfaced, thanks to Rainier,an anonymous donator. One of the Industrial Records Tapes missing from my collection,along with the two interview tapes from earlier versions of the 24hours box set(if anyone has them etc?)

This performance(s)by 'international Recording Star',Monte Cazazza, seems to have higher production values than The Leather Nun scala set,on a par with the TG tape of the same gig. I've attempted to match the tracks with the song titles provided;anyone know any better? There's no fewer than three versions of “First/Last”,probably one from Leeds,one from Oundle, and one from The Scala gig. All with enthusiastic audience participation!(applause, cheering, and encore chanting!)

Cazazza was on form for these TG support slots,with swirling ,scraping ,noisy versions of studio favourites, and a few part improvised non-instrumentals.I'm sure I can sense the extensive use of one of Chris Carters “Gristlizer” units on most of these numbers......and why not? As you know, its good to share.

Notes:
Live at Leeds Fan Club 24 Feb 1980

Monte Cazazza - "To Mom on Mother's Day" (Industrial Records IR0005) 1979

A San Franciscan gave Industrial Music it's name, and his name was Monte Cazazza("Industrial music ,for Industrial People"). San Francisco seemed to be the UK's errant sibling at the birth of Industrial music,even though the place gives little impression of an industrial hell hole, unlike Great Britain. It definitely contributed greatly to the artistic side to the emerging scene, and Cazazza was one of the chief protagonists.
Here is his debut single, released naturally enough on Industrial records, backed musically by Throbbing Gristle. Its about as 'rocky' as TG ever got, it's got drums in it that sound like they are played by one of the Shaggs! Swirling 'gristlized' electronics, overlaid by Cazazza's dysfunctional rapping.
The B-side is a genre defining collage of found dialogue, including a list of murders read out by some American official type,and other equally attractive recordings on the same subject matter.

A limited edition of 2000, they came with the usual extra media, in the form of the above inserts.

A- To Mom On Mother's Day
