Negativland (album)
Negativland is Negativland's first album, released by Seeland Records in June 1980. Each copy of the album has a different cover. This required a small run of only 15,000 copies. It is on iTunes and Napster with a cover depicting marshmallow soufflé in a bowl. Unlike all other Negativland albums, this album has no titles for the songs, just numbers. This is the rarest Negativland album, next to the misprinted Dispepsi albums and the U2 E.P.
This album was recorded when Mark Hosler and Richard Lyons were in high school and at the age of 17.
