Originally released in 1980 on the Choo Choo Train label, E Pluribus Unum is the debut full-length album from The 49 Americans, a late '70s/early '80s UK DIY collective assembled by Andrew "Giblet" Brenner. The group brought together a loose gathering of musical and non-musical practitioners, resulting in an experimental rock and post-punk record that has earned a lasting reputation among fans of the era's underground scene.
This 2013 reissue on Staubgold brings E Pluribus Unum back into circulation for a new generation of listeners, with the album's tracks recorded by noted musician and producer David Toop on stereo cassette — giving the recording an intimate, raw quality that suits its DIY origins. For fans of experimental rock and post-punk, this is a compelling piece of music history that stands as a document of a genuinely unique creative vision.
