Sultans Ghost Ship LP was originally released on Sympathy For The Record Industry in 2000. While RFTC looked for a new drummer, Speedo (armed with an 8 track tape machine and 3 microphones) devised another alias and concocted this primordial ooze of moped scuzz, punk rock and roll. On drums, Tony DíPrima unleashed his Tommy gun spray attack and propelled the noise over the cliff. Ghost Ship is the Sultans sound at its most thuggish and hairiest.
After this was recorded these tapes lay dormant in a shed for over 20 years. When the tapes were recently unearthed it revealed unreleased songs recorded after Ghost Ship yet before the band’s follow up LP Shipwrecked. Some of these songs would later be absorbed by RFTC and re-recorded. These songs are included here as bonus tracks and offer no relief to the record’s unrelenting pace.
