PETER LAUGHNER & FRIENDS
In 1974, in a piece about the nascent Cleveland underground music scene, Peter Laughner wrote, "I want to do for Cleveland what Brian Wilson did for California and Lou Reed did for New York." In a real sense, Laughner accomplished what he hoped to do, though he wouldn't live to see how the musicians he worked with and inspired would help launch the punk and new wave movements in years to come. Peter Laughner was a guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, and music critic who embraced a wide range of musical influences, mixing rock & roll, blues, folk, and proto-punk and boiling them down into a style that was deeply personal and strongly emotional...

SLEEVE VG(+) but (please, see pictures and read above description)
Thoughtfully assembled 15-track compilation of Laughner's work draws from his contributions to Rocket from the Tombs ("Ain't It Fun"), Friction, solo recordings (including a version of "Life Stinks," also recorded by Pere Ubu), and even a home tape recorded in his bedroom the night before his death. While the full rock band cuts show an admirable arty ambition ("Amphetamine" in particular strongly recalls the Velvet Underground), it's the folky solo cuts which are the most chillingly emotional, and perhaps the most durable...(AllMusic)
