Product Description
Eat or Be Eaten one of the last remaining Firesign Theatre albums never to be reissued on CD is the story of Player (Peter Bergman) and his journey into and out of the game world of Kudzu County: a dangerous American hinterland of virgin sacrifices, Sphinx disk jockeys, discount all-weather art warehouses, and Shoplifters Markets. A hilarious artifact of the Digital Bronze Age, Eat or Be Eaten started as an idea for a board game with an interactive CD; then a Cinemax special; then a comedy album; and finally an unsold soap opera pitch. It was also the worlds first CD+G disc with subcode graphics, and buyers with the right hardware could watch a 1980s-tastic gallery of 16-color graphics play along with the album on their TVs. This exclusive Laugh.com reissue includes the full original album, plus 28 minutes of never-released bonus material from the original game version, in-depth liner notes that detail the convoluted history of the project, a Quicktime video of the impossible-to-find subcode graphics version of the album, and exclusive art from the never-completed Eat or Be Eaten board game thats now lost to history or is it?
