The original Entropy Service patch

Some people say this is where it all began...

The original Entropy Service business card

Note the elegant austerity
and discreet lack of information...

I'm keeping my eye out for other bits and pieces left behind by the band.

An Entropy Service CD, or even several?

I plan to put together several CDs containing performances from Entropy Service's immense original repertoire.
The first CD, "Entropy Service '75 Live!" (CAT-111CD), is now available!
CAT-111CD contains songs recorded at two Boston area performances late in 1975. The band is the later Entropy Service Quartet. The audio quality gets lousy in spots, and there are a few strange noises (you'd almost think it was recorded in a bar or a restaurant) , but the performances are wonderful!
The songs on this recording are:
· If I Could Sing Like Bing
· The Bird Song
· Endless Taxi
· Elizabeth
· When I Take My Sugar To Tea
· Sister Mary
· Wisdom Teeth
· Delayed Gratification (Waiting)
· Nobody In Town Can Bake A Sweet Jellyroll Like Mine
· Highland Road
· Stranger Twice Removed
· Tavern Boogie
To order CAT-111CD send a check or money order made out to Peter Langston for $18 ($15 + $3 packing & postage) to the Entropy Service address below. Be sure to include your postal address.

I also have a few copies of the original Entropy Service EP record (made from genuine vinyl!) complete with the original Entropy Service record cover (a museum-grade art piece in its own right). Send a check or money order for $13 ($10 + $3 packing & postage) made out to Peter Langston to the address below. Make sure you mention the Entropy Service EP and include your postal address.
