Luxus.

(Berlin).: S.O.36. (Martin Kippenberger)., 1979. Two 7”, 45rpm vinyl records. Each housed in original printed sleeves.. (18 x 18 cm).. Luxus was the name given to the ""band"" formed by Martin Kippenberger, Christine Hahn and Eric Mitchell, the latter two being important artists in the No Wave scene in New York. This was the only release on the S. O. 36 label, named after the nightclub Sud Ost, which Kippenberger briefly managed in Berlin, and which hosted shows by Throbbing Gristle, Wire, and other post-punk and No Wave projects. The record consists of street and background noises together with provocative drumming by Kippenberger. Most copies have the two discs bound together with a 6-page stapled cover. This is a variant issue, with the records bound separately, one with four pages of illustrations, the other with three pages. [Ref. Ursula Block & Michael Glasmeier - Broken Music.
