Stupor Ego

'Stupor Ego', released in 1996, is the first live album to be released by The Whitlams

The album contains live recordings from performances at the Harbourside Brasserie in 1994 and Goosens Hall in 1995.

When asked if Stupor Ego would be re-pressed Tim Freedman replied:

"I want 'Jesus' gone. It offends people and death threats are no fun ... Mixed with this motive was my perception that people were buying [Stupor Ego] at gigs thinking it represented what they had just seen. They would get a shock when they got home and played it.^[1]

Due to its discontinued status, extreme rarity, and nostalgia value (it features The Whitlams in the initial trio of Tim Freedman, Stevie Plunder, and Andy Lewis), copies of this CD have been known to sell for hundreds of dollars.
