CD and 10” have completely different versions of Black to Comm
winchrecords Feb 13, 2019
"The Pledge Song" and title track recorded in the studio, both brief senseless instrumental jams--in other words, great stuff. The rest is live recording, bootleg quality, not completely awful but only for the hardcore MC5 completist.
