We don't generally like live recordings - either they don't quite capture what it was like to to have actually BEEN there, or the quality is awful.

However, we wanted to put this up as (as far as we know) this - from a June 9, 1984 show at Lanchester polytechnic - is the only surviving record of a VERY early Ausgang song, 'Lumber'.

It came to light when Ausgang fan, Bela Lugosi's Dad, digitised some live recordings & demos & there it was - in all it's bestial beauty!

Jase (for it is he) did a fine job in cleaning it up, but our access to decent live recording kit back in the day was limited. Which is one of the reasons there are no lyrics this time round - we can't hear what the hell Max is singing about! Plus - all his old lyric books are lost in the mists of time, so...

You might think Max would at LEAST know what the song is ABOUT, but that too is tricky. We LIKE to think it's a reference to the late Lumberjack, a much-missed friend from the old days. Even if it isn't, this one's for you, buddy...
