***Savage! Young! Wild! JON SPENCER, JULIA CAFRITZ, and the rest in all their snarling, sneering, spoiled-rotten-Ivy-Leaguer glory, recorded live in the mid-'80s. Extremely lo-fi to begin with and made even more unlistenable after the fact by disgruntled percussionist TOM SMITH, who originally released the tapes in an act of revenge after the band gave him the boot. He thought Oven Bait would embarrass them, but it has gone on to achieve near-mythical status as one of the rawest, most insanely (un)produced recordings you're likely to hear. Good luck sitting through all 55 minutes.

Jon Spencer, Neil Haggerty, Bob Bert and Kurt Wolf kick out the jams and testify at their last ever concert recorded live! An incredible document of one of the most sonically savage and over-the-top rock'n'roll groups ever. Recorded on 16 tracks at NY's CBGB's, but heretofore remained unmixed and unreleased. Fuck the abstract production techniques of their studio work, this here is the real deal - powerful, noise charged and stompingly decadent. Check out where the Blues Explosion, Chrome Cranks and Royal Trux got their ideas, let alone their fucking passion. An absolute must.
