Following Thaw‘s release, Jim Thirlwell formed Foetus Corruptus for a 1988 European tour, documented on the double-LP authorized bootleg Rife. Borrowing Raymond Watts from the likeminded Pig, Algis Kizys (Swans), Norman Westberg (Swans), and Ted Parsons (Prong), Clint Ruin set about capturing the previously studio only incarnations, with a live band. Initially released by Thirlwell with no record label credit the album was released in three formats: a two-LP set on black vinyl, a two-LP picture disc set, and a CD. After its initial release, Jungle Records was authorized in 1988 to produce a limited edition official release of a further 2,000 albums split between the three formats. But wait for it, Jungle in their own wisdom then self-bootlegged Rife in 1996, producing 500 additional, unauthorized picture disc albums. Two years later Jungle licensed Rife to Invisible Records, who began producing additional (possibly unauthorized) CDs.

Hi there. Forgive me asking, but would you be willing to re-up (all or some of) your Foetus/Jim Thirlwell posts? There are a fair few i'd love to add to my collection. Either way, thanks for all the great music.
