How do you really rate this? It's completely impossible to enlist any highlights as all 19 tracks seem essential. The band sound like you wish you'd been there. This is music history and there's luckily no traces of over-dubs. It's recorded as is, and it's pumped with energy.
This is fan-material - and better late than never, 'cause this really should have been released at some point back in 1982 when the music was much more relevant, but thanks a bunch to whoever belived in it.
