Recordings
Laughner's only known entrance into a recording studio was for the Pere Ubu single sessions, though he left behind countless lo-fi live, rehearsal, and demo recordings. In 1994, Tim/Kerr label released Take the Guitar Player for a Ride, a 15 track compilation drawn from these tapes. This compilation had no sales and has since gone out of print. Fans continue to circulate bootleg recordings and a Cleveland-based label, Handsome Productions, offers a comprehensive collection of his music on CD, officially endorsed by his estate.
As of 2007, the Smog Veil record label is reported to be releasing a Laughner box set (with tapes procured from Handsome Productions, David Thomas, Tim Wright, and others).
In addition to solo recordings, Laughner's live guitar and vocal work is available in the Rocket from the Tombs bootleg The Day the Earth Met the Rocket from the Tombs.

“All radio is dead. Which means that these tape recordings I’m making are for the sake of future history. If any.”
