I Don't Know Right From Wrong: Lost La Peste: 1976 - 1979 Vol. 1 Music CD

La Peste was Boston's first true punk band and bridged the gap between the city's influential 1970's proto-punk hotbed and the college rock and hardcore punk that followed in the 80's and 90's. This collection tells the full story of La Peste with a presentation of the band's unreleased studio and loft recordings along with the two tracks that have been officially released. These tracks come from the studio session that produced the Better Off Dead 7" (the band's only official release), their 1978 session with The Cars' Ric Ocasek, a 1978 session at Electro Acoustic Studios and 4-track loft recordings made by Boston punks Billy Dafodil and Dave Cola in 1977. On the A and B sides of this collection Peter Dayton and Mark Andreasson give their first shot at sequencing the La Peste LP that they never got a chance to make. The C side features the tracks from the loft recordings that were not used on the A and B Sides. Side D is a window into a nascent La Peste and features studio and 4-track recordings with Curt Naihersey (Pastiche, The Kids, Mr. Curt). The D side also includes a rare curiosity from the La Peste catalogue, their collaboration with Verulven Records' founder Joe Viglione (The Count, Lord Manuel) from a sought-after split 7" with the The Neighborhoods.
