The 2019 remastered reissue includes song lyrics, photos of the band and an introduction by Stewart Lee. Radical rock group UT was founded by Nina Canal, Jacqui Ham and Sally Young in 1978. Originated in the downtown NYC No Wave scene and inheritors of the collision between rock, free jazz and the avant-garde, Ut exploded the rigidity of conventional rock, constructing songs through collective improvisation, swapping instruments and rotating the role of singer\/director.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMigrating to London in 1981, Ut played with bands like The Fall and The Birthday Party and released music on its own label Out Records, including Live at The Venue in 1982, the Ut EP in 1984, the \u003ci\u003eConfidential\u003c\/i\u003e 12” in 1985 and the LP\u003ci\u003e Conviction\u003c\/i\u003e in 1986. Ut became a favourite of BBC's John Peel and recorded sessions for his show in ‘84, ‘85 and ‘87. Joining forces with Blast First in 1987, they released the live compilation album \u003ci\u003eEarly Live Life\u003c\/i\u003e and then the highly critically acclaimed In \u003ci\u003eGut's House\u003c\/i\u003e in 1988, which made the year’s NME ‘Top 50 Albums’. The album \u003ci\u003eGriller\u003c\/i\u003e followed in 1989, engineered by label mate Steve Albini, who shared Ut's raw aesthetic and captured the band’s vibrant intensity. Ut disbanded in 1990, but began performing again in 2010. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD - The CD add Ut’s previously unreleased 7” single \u003ci\u003eAmpheta Speak \/ While I Wait\u003c\/i\u003e, recorded for Charles Ball’s Lust \/ Unlust label in 1980.
