Placebo

• 7 INCH EDITION

The third and final album, released in 1974, is a work so confident that it has the band’s name in the title, and it is the culmination of the progressive evolution from the first and second albums to an abstract world view.

This is the world’s first 7-inch album that couples “Doug Madame Merci” with the lazy sound of modal harmonies, funky beats, overlapping horn sections and clever synth leads, and “S.U.S.” with a trumpet wah solo and horn riffs over drifting roses.
