Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded while opening for The Who in 1982, this archival release documents the band at their commercial peak in America. Despite playing to a stadium audience, the recording captures the group's unyielding punk energy and their successful integration of reggae and new wave influences into a powerful, politically charged live set.
