Collecting the bracing and brilliant Pere Ubu in their earliest incarnation, with the devastating one-two knockout blow of 1978 studio bookends quot;The Modern Dancequot; and quot;Dub Housingquot;, following by quot;The Hearpen Singles (1975-1977)quot; and a red hot live set quot;Manhattanquot;, recorded at the legendary Maxs Kansas City in 1977; quot;Elitism For The People 1975-78quot; serves as a gut punch.
