I agree - the production was pretty thin on a couple of those LPs but I contend there's treasures on all of 'em. The early ones have more sonic punch I'd say, with exceptions. Was raving about "Days on the Mountain" earlier - that one is widescreen and epic.

It's really easy to make sauerkraut. Get the freshest best cabbage you can find. Cut it into thin shreds. Add 1 tbsp salt per lb of sauerkraut. WORK IT with your hands - this part is important - it liberates a lot of juice that the kraut ferments in. Min 5 minutes of kneading.

Then I add caraway seeds or mustard seeds. (I like both but prefer caraway). Transfer to a jar. Pack it in! (I use a pestle). Then place a whole cabbage leaf over the top of the shreds and use some kind of weight or spring thing to hold the cabbage below the surface of the liquid (this is important b/c otherwise you get mold). I use these www.ballmasonjars.com... they work great but you can improvise.

I interviewed Richard Lloyd in 2017 and asked him this:
"When guitar players play together it seems like a conversation. How would you describe the interplay between you and Tom Verlaine?"
RL: "I think of it as gears, like in a wristwatch or motorcars traveling at different speeds to get someplace. Or a jigsaw puzzle. Your part might not make sense on its own, but connected with the other part, it fits.

haha: Verlaine elaborated in an interview with Sounds a few years after the fact: “The whole thing sounded like the Ventures. It sounded so bad. I kept on saying, why does it sound so bad? And [Eno would] say, ‘Whaddya mean? It sounds pretty good to me.'”
