See "Amphetamine - Peter Laughner" for another, previously unreleased, version of this song. Some verses are different. Acoustic guitar and reed organ arrangement...
u must read this. once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy and paste to be saved
@BabylonAGoGo I agree. It breaks my heart that no one knows his name. If nothing else, he wrote a song that ended up on GN'R's Spaghetti Incident, where they ruin all my favorite songs...
"The work will finally see the light of day in 2011 as the Peter Laughner LP series debuts in April on Record Store Day. Each LP in the series will feature the best possible audio quality and extensively researched liner notes including never before published photos and amazing interviews. We've tracked down plenty of never before heard recordings, including master reels of secret studio sessions, pristine band rehearsal recordings, and great live recordings."
There's a cleaner-sounding version on the Cinderella Backstreet 7". Same type of sound as the recording of "Baudelaire" that's available here. I like it better.
FYI, just got an Email from Smog Veil, who issues recordings by Pere Ubu & Rocket From The Tombs.
"Smog Veil Clearing The Air newsletter #73, February 2010...Heck, we may even get that Peter Laughner box set done."
perviously,
Wikipedia: "As of 2007, the Smog Veil record label is reported to be releasing a Laughner box set (with tapes procured from Handsome Productions, David Thomas, Tim Wright, and others) which may materialize in 2010. "
check out the day earth met rocket from the tombs for another side of this genius. what a shame we were robbed of him but have to endure 20-30 years of crap from mediocre artists. then again the rarity increases the value of his gems

Hi can you tell me more about Peter? I´m somehow obsessed by him, because I can identify with him, only that I´m fifteen years younger. He was at the right time at the right places, but never made it. A lost genius.
Remarkable talent. Rocket From The Tombs, in which he played some beautiful guitar, along w/ Cheetah, perhaps the best band ever not to record an LP... This song , Ain't if Fun, Sylvia Plath... brilliant. If I am wrong, and there is a Hell? He'll have to wait in line, because I have a bunch of friends who need an ass kicking for dying young... but I've got one to spare for Peter. Too fucking good to die at 24.
There's a better version of this done live by Rocket From the Tombs, David Thomas doing good backing vocals. It was on the Pere Ubu box.

This whole collection just digs into my soul and puts me into a daze.
So beautiful and horrifyingly sad.

Very influenced by The Velvets,reminds me of "Heroin".

Sounds mid-sixties Dylan with some Velvet Underground influence.
It probably would be better as a finished studio, I distortion of the vocal kinda gets in the way.

Good song no matter what, though.
