Notes:

Great quality, possibly the earliest live Nick Cave in existance? Content-wise, its a bit of a typical early days punk band - a few thrash tunes
thrown in alongside the standard rock & blues covers that the band had probably been playing for years beforehand. Blitzkrieg Bop and Commando
(Ramones covers) come across really well, whereas Gloria and Louie Louie are pretty dire IMHO !
Nonetheless a brilliant document of early Nick Cave and Australian Punk rock.

Enjoy.
