Come On With The Come On

A double-sider comprising two previously unreleased tracks by the group ‘Upheaval’ which were recorded inside Waupun Correctional Institution. The 9 piece Wisconsin outfit was formed whilst behind bars, cutting a series of live recordings over a few days in 1979. Several of the group members had no musical training before entering prison, however the band built up its reputation through concerts for inmates, the local public and radio. Upheaval only had one release to their name, ‘Paradise Lost’ / ‘Now That You’re Gone’, on their self-titled ‘Love’ label. Only 25 copies are thought to have been originally pressed, with even less surviving to the present day. The two tracks on this 45 have not seen the light of day until now. They were recorded live using only 2 microphones and the only surviving ‘masters’ were in cassette form.
