At last, the re-re-issue of Negativland’s out-of-print 1983 release, A Big 10-8 Place. This album was three years in the making, and was made with ten-thousand-million-billion analog tape splices. It's an audio odyssey through a day in the life in Contra Costa County, Negativland’s suburban home turf. Made out of painstakingly assembled sounds and ideas, as sheer sound collage it remains unlike anything else we've ever made (only Death Sentences of the Polished and Structurally Weak comes sonically close to it).

Originally available on VHS, this re-re-issue comes packaged with a 60-minute bonus DVD of Negativland’s first foray into video, No Other Possibility, featuring material shot before, during and a few years after A Big 10-8 Place was released.

This 1983 album was originally issued on LP, and then re-issued on CD in the early 1990’s with all the original LP packaging (green wrap-around sleeve, ’land’ collage, poster map, bumper sticker, hand embossing, a baggy of lawn clippings with a bright yellow HAM OPERATOR CONVICTED card inside the bag (a winterized version had tanbark wood chips instead). This re-re-issue is in a standard design mass produced version. Sorry about that, but after making over 11,000 of these by hand over a period of 17 years, we finally gave up! If you want to find the original LP or CD versions, look on Ebay and GEMM, and be sure it has all the stuff in it it’s supposed to have!
