Ltd edition Bookback CD-Boxset! with the remastered albums 'New Picnic Time' (1979), 'The Art Of Walking' (1980) and 'Song Of The Bailing Man' (1982) plus a disk of extras 'Architecture Of Language 1979-1982' is a four disc CD bookback set with excerpts from the Pere Ubu scrapbook 75-82, written by David Thomas, including historical photos.

It features the ground-breaking 'New Picnic Time' described by one critic as the "scariest album ever recorded".

Plus 'The Art Of Walking' featuring Mayo Thomson of Red Crayola, 'Song Of The Bailing Man' and a further CD of glorious out-takes and oddities, 'Architectural Salvage'.

This release features Ubu approved notes! "These are records of "unique beauty - a beauty marked by truth and thus also tragic and sometimes painful" (Sounds, Chris Cutler).

"Reinventing rock music from the ground up, Pere Ubu are equally at ease with Sun Ra and The Monkees, Glen Campbell and The MC5, Can and The Raspberries, they are the white Funkadelic.

Inspired, invigorating, confounding, disturbing_" Rolling Stone
