SWANS - LOVE OF LIFE

This is the follow up to White light (1991) released in 1992. Both this and White Light should be in the list of 50 Lps you buy before you die. And the cover is genius and comic. An all around masterpiece. Like its predecessor, White Light from the Mouth of Infinity, Love of Life was out of print for a long time and had not been reissued until this very day. Six of the eleven songs appear on the Various Failures compilation, and a further four appear on the Forever Burned compilation. These two compilations therefore contain all the material on this release, except the Jarboe composition "She Cries (For Spider)", as well as tracks 1 and 9. The cover art is a painting by Deryk Thomas. All of the untitled segues, listed as both "(—)" and "(---)", are credited to the band Beautiful People LTD, which is a one-off collaboration between Jarboe and then-Swans bass player Lary 7.
