Reviews
Another great release from Caroline Records (the other being The Misfits - Static Age).
It’s of a similar situation, a full recording session that didn’t see a proper release till the 90’s.
I believe this is the closest I’ll ever be to experiencing Bad Brains live as they climb to their peak. The energy is on another level!
This is by no means a live record. The band knocked these songs out in a day at Inner Ear, and they are in top form. The mix is is rudimentary but by no means bad. It is in your face, punchy & distinctly that DC sound.
