Description
ee here the very first recordings by this Boston combo that turned the rock ’n’ roll club circuit upside down in the early ’80s with their incendiary shows and releases.
Side A features home recordings laid down by the original lineup before the band made its stage debut or entered the studio for the first time. Side B includes material from the same period, both live and in the studio.
You’ll be blown away by the killer vocals of the then-unknown Barrence Whitfield, Peter Greenberg’s rippin’ guitar, riding on a rock-solid rhythm section—Phil Lenker on bass and Howie Ferguson on drums—and Steve LaGrega’s savage sax. In short, a feast of the wildest and greasiest R&B and R&R, with a flawless repertoire… one scorcher after another!
And yes, the sound is raw, but not lo-fi, as it has been carefully mastered from the original tapes.
