Boredoms reissue early albums Pop Tatari and Chocolate Synthesizer on 1972 Records, just ‘cause!

What exactly is the formula that 1972 Records is using to select albums for re-release? Over the past two years, they’ve re-printed albums by Aphex Twin, Echo & The Bunnymen, Jesus and Mary Chain, Stereolab, and Television Personalities, none of which were originally released in 1972. Keeping with their method of not having any apparent method, FACT is reporting that 1972 will be adding two early Boredoms records to the mix, further diluting any narrative thread that could have been extracted from their existing set of offerings.

The two records in question are 1992’s outsider mind-fart Pop Tatari, and 1994’s Chocolate Synthesizer, an album that serves as a bridge of sorts between Boredoms’ early experimental noise work and their kraut-influenced meditations that would come later in the decade. Both albums will be released May 14 as double LPs (with no extras, take it or leave it), but are available for pre-sale on the Internet now.
