Album Notes & Community Reviews
An incredibly abrasive, notoriously lo-fi bootleg-style recording famously captured directly to cassette tape during a fraught American tour. The distorted, intensely chaotic performances document the rapid dissolution of the Boz Burrell and Mel Collins lineup, highlighting a deeply experimental, nearly noise-rock approach to their progressive material.
