Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally presented to the public as a genuine live recording, this intensely raw album was actually cut in a studio with overdubbed crowd noise added later. Regardless of its artificial atmosphere, the project captures the blistering, proto-punk energy of Sky Saxon's group at their peak, stripping down their psychedelic studio experiments into manic, fuzz-heavy garage rock.
