Telephone Free Landslide Victory
Summary
Telephone Free Landslide Victory is an album by musical group Camper Van Beethoven, released on Independent Project Records and released in June 1985. It featured the band's best known song, "Take the Skinheads Bowling". The album has sold over 60,000 copies.
The band's lineup at the time of recording was David Lowery (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Jonathan Segel (violin, keyboards, guitar, backing vocals), Chris Molla (guitar, backing vocals), Victor Krummenacher (bass, backing vocals), and Anthony Guess (drums). The album is the only Camper Van Beethoven record not to feature guitarist Greg Lisher. Lisher is actually listed in the album credits as a band member, but he did not join the band until after the album was recorded.
The reunited Camper Van Beethoven frequently features several of the album's songs in their set lists, including "Take the Skinheads Bowling", the countrified Black Flag cover "Wasted", the hardcore send-up "Club Med Sucks", "The Day That Lassie Went to the Moon", "Ambiguity Song", and several of the instrumentals.
The band originally intended for the album to be titled Telephone Tree Landslide Victory, but a friend who was producing advance copies of the LP on cassette mistakenly replaced "Tree" with "Free".
Michael Stipe named Telephone Free Landslide Victory one of his ten favorite albums of 1985 in a list he wrote for Rolling Stone.
