La Peste was more than just Boston’s first true punk band. I Don’t Know Right From Wrong: Lost La Peste Vol. 1 tells the full story of La Peste with a presentation of the band’s unreleased studio and loft recordings along with the two tracks that were officially released during the band’s run. The material in this collection comes from the Better Off Dead 7” sessions, their 1978 session with The Cars’ Ric Ocasek, a 1978 session at Electro Acoustic Studios, 4-track loft recordings made by Boston punks Billy Daffodil and Dave Cola in 1977 and the the band’s very first studio sessions with Curt Naihersey (The Kids, Pastiche) in early 1977.

On the A and B sides of this collection Peter Dayton and Mark Andreasson give their first shot at sequencing the La Peste LP that they never got a chance to make. The C side features the tracks from the loft recordings that were not used on the A and B sides. Side D is a window into a nascent La Peste and features the first studio and 4-track recordings made by the band. The D side also includes a rare curiosity from the La Peste catalogue, their collaboration with Lord Manuel, “Computer Love,” from a sought-after 7”. All of this material was pre-mastered by Boston recording legend Paul Kolderie (Fort Apache Studios) and mastered by Carl Saff.

The accompanying book features tons of newly uncovered photos, a long-form essay by music journalist Andy Cush & micro-essays by Greg Hawkes (The Cars), Roger Miller (Mission of Burma), Peter Prescott (Mission of Burma), Clint Conley (Mission of Burma), Pat Place (Bush Tetras, Contortions), Willie Loco Alexander (The Lost, Boom Boom Band, The Velvet Underground), Richard Parsons (Unnatural Axe), Malcolm Travis (Human Sexual Response) and more.
