    Sealed "Promo" CD, with retro cut-out hole - a homage to the original release's status as a "1974 unreleased promo LP on Columbia Records." At least, that's how the backstory was spun, anyway. A limited edition disc, factory sealed in a cardboard sleeve.

about

"I've heard GOUT and, whatever the provenance, it's a fine, percussion-fuelled, invigorating free-for-all."

- Fred Dellar, MOJO Magazine


"This is the tale of one of the great lost experimental jazz/rock albums. According to legend, Gout was bankrolled by Miles Davis in 1974, delivered to Columbia Records and pressed for promotion… then summarily abandoned by the label. Reasons, besides its lack of commercial potential, are unclear. Though theories range from guitarist Art Jackson’s already developed heroin addiction to Columbia’s desire to distance themselves from a band that may have included a few radical Black Panthers. Reportedly, when Miles (with his own drug problems) began withdrawing into seclusion, so did the desire to release Gout. Specializing in free form, live-in-the-studio, jazz/rock experimentation, The Atrocity was a chaotic, 8 to 11 piece collective fronted by the 20 year old Jackson – whose guitar explorations were prone to both violent outbursts and spacey sonic excursions. No charts, no songs, no rhyme or reason. Driven by extra heavy propulsion drumming, the musical interplay between the players suggests a drug fueled free-for-all."

-Willard, Never Get Out Of The Boat
