Lyvv China Doll (Edward Ka-Spel)
Rex <richwill@xsite.net>
Originally released in 1989 as a cassette-only compilation of rare solo
material and live performances (thus the title), Lyvv China Doll was
reconfigured with no live material and more outtakes on CD in 1993 by
Staalplaat. It features a handful of truly bizarre instrumental experiments,
an alternate version of "The Char Char," a revisit to LPD's The Tower
("Tower 8"), a creepy duet with an unnamed female vocalist which unfolds
dramatically ("Lying In State"), and tends to be the least essential Ka-Spel
release.
