Laugh China Doll was the first solo album release of Edward Ka-Spel recorded over 2 weekends on borrowed equipment in 1984. Pat Bermingham mixed it and released it on his In-Phaze label. Sadly he decided to store the master tape in his leaky garden shed and within a year you could drink it - this tape was not for baking. It was in better condition than the original tape for Dance, China Doll, the first 12 maxi-single however. Happily The Legendary Pink Dots sound wizard Raymond Steeg located a good quality copy of the original vinyl records and worked on them - they are almost digital now. This CD is dedicated with love to Marylou who inspired so much of the material here…
