  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    2xCD. For roughly an eight year period, The Thing slogged around the NY area, playing in dingy clubs and putting out a handful of records that combined a love of Hawkwind and 70's era space/psych rock with a grungy noise rock assault. It's an eccentric sound that sort of resembles the missing link between the high-power stoner rock of Monster Magnet and the sleazy, amp-blowing noise skuzz of Lower East Side contemporaries like Pussy Galore, Soul Crusher-era White Zombie, Unsane, and Live Skull. The Thing guitarist Sal Canzonieri, would later go on to form Electric Frankenstein while still a member of The Thing but as as Electric Frankenstein started to take off Sal would ultimately end The Thing. This double CD collection includes 3 dozen songs recorded from 1986 - 1991 including the 'Six Sick Songs' Cassette Only EP Release in 1988, both Noiseville 7"'s, the 'From Another World' Album from 1990, the BBC John Peel Sessions from 1991 as well as a 7 song unreleased EP from 1989 and 2 songs from an unreleased EP from 1991. 36 Tracks in all.
