The John Cale produced '79 Model Citizens EP is available again, and with it comes unheard live recordings from Max’s & Hurrah! "Model Citizens, attacking their instruments with poetic yet strangely ironic frenzy, reflect the frightened, scattered, painful world of the moment." (NY Rocker) This short lived vanguard outfit now gets its due on red vinyl, with an insert featuring liner notes from Tim Page.


There were four Model Citizens – Steve Alexander, Eugenie Diserio, Tomek Lamprecht and Gloria Richards. Like so many dedicated New Yorkers, they had all come from away – Poland (Tomek), Oregon and Japan (Gloria), West Texas (Steve) and what sometimes seemed the most thoroughly distanced place of all, the comfortable New York suburbs (Eugenie). They were young, bright, beautiful, and hungry; they were (and remain) very good at their multifarious endeavors, whether painting, fashion design, graphics, conceptual art, environmental exploration, writing or simply christening something Art and then making it worthy of the term. By 1978, they were friends, matriculants at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Fine Arts, and living together in a loft building just above 125th Street in West Harlem.  Model Citizens was conceived as a collective art project not only to make rock music but to be about rock music as well. The music was dissonant, aggressive and succinct. A song might start with a standard boogie-woogie riff only to be drowned immediately in a chaos of percussive rat-tat-tats, carnival organ, electric violin, mallet instruments, and anxious stabs to the guts of the guitars. There were no solos, no jam sessions and, while there was hard lyricism aplenty in Model Citizens songs, you had to seek it out, as you did in the city itself. John Cale produced a Model Citizens EP for his short-lived label Spy Records: until now, it has never been rereleased. An album on Warner Brothers was said to be underway. But it never happened and suddenly the band was no more. There were the usual reasons – personal tensions, diverging ambitions, that youthful need to blow everything up now and then – but there was also a sense that the work called “Model Citizens” was complete and everybody was on to other things. Decades later, you hold its legacy in your hands. Put it on and turn it up.  -- Tim Page (abridged from his liner notes)

Works well. Cuddly.

Worked well for my Puppy. Ended up taking out the heart beat and she was fine. She still cuddles with it in her crate at night. Holds up well to puppy teeth.

Great BUY!
Color: Yelow, Color: Yelow
Great product! I bought this for our puppy we were getting since she was going to now be away from momma. As soon as I turned the heartbeat function on she started to lick the toy and laid her head on it. Needless to say that we slept throughout the night because of this toy. She loves it! The heartbeat function is pretty noticeable too!

The best for crate training
Color: White
Crate trained our new puppy the 1st night I put this in his crate! I highly recommend! Great quality! The back is just a little hard to open to turn the heartbeat on and off.

Perfect for my pup
Color: White, Color: White
At first I thought this was going to have a cheap quality and an uncomfortable fur like material but I was soo wrong. This stuffed animal is light weight but the first night my 9 week old bernedoodle slept with it, he fell asleep so quick and it was the first time he didn’t cry in the time we have had him. He loves to cuddle with this stuffy during nap time and when the heartbeat is on, he doesn’t chew it which is crazy because he loves chewing on stuffed animals. If you are even considering getting this, I 100% recommend pulling the trigger. Love love love it and it is a new necessity in our house
