please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
My mileage does very! I'm the exact opposite. But then, in general I'm not a huge fan of live records, while StG is probably my favorite Cardiacs album (along with the rest of them - except Heaven Born which is merely a good album among a catalog of great albums).
That opinion on live albums still doesn't change the fact that I love Garage Concerts like crazy, though. I'm a fanboy, what can I say?

I'm probably as irritating as one of the Genesis fanboys when it comes to these guys, except my band is better.

Interesting. This makes me even more curious about Guns now.
The idea of pre-recorded keys on Special Garage Concerts doesn't bother me; in fact, having played in a couple of bands, I can understand why that might be used in some circumstances. I have a hard time imagining Cardiacs without keyboards and saxophone, since that was how I first heard them.

Guns is amazing, get it and listen. no expectations. You'll love it, its a way of life
"Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible"
-Frank Zappa
I'll definitely get Guns -- maybe even next time I place an order at Wayside. Sounds like I also need to get Special Garage Concerts then too.
Had StG disc 1 on repeat for the last several days, and still thoroughly enjoy most of it. The first two tracks I tend to skip, but once Dog-Like Sparky kicks in it's pretty much all killer for me.
Any opinions of "Dirty Boy" yet? (first track disc 2)

There is so much depth to this band, that you'll find yourself going back to a 2-minute song *years* later and something will hit you that wasn't apparent before (maybe a melody, chord structure, riff, arrangement, vocal, sound effect, etc). I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me. Off the top of my head, on "To Go Off and Things", there is an instrumental break that maybe had just flown under my radar the first 15 or 20 times I spun that tune, and then ironically enough I was watching a cover band on YT doing it and when that section happened, I was thinking "Hmmm.....is that authentic to the original or did they just make that shit up?" Sure enough, it was there on the original, and that tune has been an absolute favorite ever since. In all fairness, this can happen with a lot of quality, complex music (see Bob Drake for a great example), but this is a Cardiacs trait for sure.
Tim.
I actually just listened to the Seaside version of To Go Off and Things because Ian kept mentioning it, and now I feel bad for forgetting about it! It's actually pretty different from the live versions, with less punk face-smashing and more bizarre electronic noises. "Take it Sarah!"
I don't listen to The Seaside enough.

Yeah, I'd say that Seaside and Archive get the least amount of play time around these parts (if we're talkin' studio works), but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the crap out of them. They just have some terribly amazing company to compete with. I have actually been spinning 'Mr and Mrs Smith..' more than those records. I'm lucky just to be able to spin *anything* else besides this band....well you know!
My least played Cardiacs? Mr and Mrs Smith and Spratleys. Need to fix that.
