Cadillac Faggot

Overview

Cadillac Faggot --- 2003

In early 2001, two live CRIME shows (reputedly from 12-8-78 and 12-9-78) were discovered in the archives. With the bands permission, the best tracks from these two sets were assembled as a putative "official" live album including several unreleased tracks such as "Jo Anne" and the title track. The song "You Ain't Nothing" included here is not the same as that released on the "San Francisco's Doomed" LP, the title was later reused for another composition. All songs were digitally sampled and edited together (some tracks are assembled from fragments recorded on different nights). Following approval of the edit by the band, the album was then treated to a digital remix and mastering before being transfered to CD. Cadillac Faggot was originally considered to be released as 1000 professionally manufactured copies. However, financing the disc became an issue and the release was put on hold. Eventually, after a gentlemans agreement was reached with the band, 100 CD-R copies were produced as a numbered edition to support the launch of the CRIMEWAVE website. Three boxsets were also produced in series, numbered 1-3, containing 1 CD of each color (box #1 contained CDs #'d 1, 21, 41, 61, 81, box #2 contained CD#2, 22 etc.). The 5 CDs were housed in a 5lb steel security box featuring the CRIME logo and also contained a certificate of authenticity and an exclusive poster. Cadillac Faggot was sold exclusively via mail order via the now defunct CRIMEWAVE.biz and was SOLD OUT in about 4 months.
