almost picked up this 12": "Native Dance / Red Decade" by Jules Baptiste and Red Decade, from 1982, and now i'm kicking myself for balking at the $15 price tag. anyone familiar with this record or know of any other stuff by Red Decade or Jules Baptiste? Glenn Branca was credited as executive producer, but doesn't play on it. it was texturally reminiscent of Branca, but with more of a disco/tribal rhythym thoughout. pretty awesome. hopefully it's still at the shop.

Synchronicity alert !

Just came bk in from the heat a few minutes ago from mailing package to Soul Jazz containing
a Robert Longo 'Men In Cities' art image of Jules ...
And the other saw another pic of Jules in the recent Rhys Chatham rerelease.
Actually haven't heard the Red Decade release but did see them waaay bk in that day, pretty much as you described them sonic -wise.
Jules was a nice guy , cool cat
