Encyclopedia
London Tuesday is a live album by Jandek
released in 2008. It is Jandek's 55th release. The album was recorded on 18 October 2005 at St Giles in the Fields
, London, England. This performance was the first to feature Jandek
playing solo acoustic guitar, and, in a similar manner to the presentation of Glasgow Monday
, is an 8-part piece, entitled "No Mind Was A Good Mind". Like previous Jandek
performances, the show was also filmed and released separately on DVD. The song "Part Three" is of particular interest, as it makes a number of direct references to the characters and themes of "Naked in the Afternoon", the first song on Jandek
's 1978 debut album, Ready for the House
