 | | In 1982 Neil Cooper, ROIR founder, approached Ruth Polsky, The Raincoats American coordinator, with the concept of recording them live at The Kitchen For The Performing Arts, in NYC, where they were scheduled to perform. |
 | | Perhaps this is the main reason Shirley O'Loughlin, The Raincoats long time manager, and the ladies themselves agreed to the project, interim financing, so to speak. |
 | | We believe "The Kitchen Tapes" is by far The Raincoats best and most representative recording, as the ladies really "cut loose" and were not limited by studio restrictions, which can produce anxiety, apprehension, and caution in a young band used to playing before a live audience. |
