From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lungs is the first EP by Chicago post-hardcore noise rockband Big Black. It was released in December 1982 on Ruthless Records, and was reissued in 1992 on Touch & Go. Steve Albini played every instrument on Lungs, with drums being handled by "Roland," and the EP was used to recruit the other members of Big Black. Lungs was recorded on a 4-track recorder loaned to Albini in exchange for a case of beer. Albini has since described the record as the worst he has ever made.
The original EP came with an array of objects, including loaded squirt guns, bloody bandages, dollar bills, condoms, concert tickets, and razor blades.
