Description: Original US LP released in 1976 on Warner Records. Cat: BS 2930. A cult waiting to happen, musician and performance artist Peter Ivers was born in Boston in 1946. During the mid-'60s, while a classics (ancient Greek) major at Harvard University, he launched his performing career playing harmonica in the local band Beacon Street Union, one of a number of Boston-area psychedelic bands influenced by San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury scene. Signing to MGM, Beacon Street Union issued the little-noticed LP The Clown Died in Mervin Gardens before dissolving; Ivers then surfaced as a member of the Street Choir before mounting a solo career. Signing to Warner Bros. in 1974, Ivers and his co-producer, free jazz bassist Buell Neidlinger, delivered Terminal Love, which at times suggests the work of Captain Beefheart; indeed, Magic Band/Frank Zappa collaborator Eliot Ingber appears on several tracks. A self-titled album for Warner followed in 1976, and a year later, Ivers earned arguably his most enduring fame, writing and recording "In Heaven (The Lady in the Radiator Song)" for David Lynch's classic film Eraserhead. (The song was later covered by another Boston act of some note, the Pixies.) Tracks : I'm sorry Alice/ In pursuit of treasure/ Eighteen and dreaming/ Peter/ Peter and the wolfe's/ Send your love over/ You used to be Stevie Wonder/ Rock and roll embarrassment/ Gilbert & Sylvia/ Child in a chair.
