BAD BRAINS  171A Sessions  7" VINYL   (Cleopatra Cafe)   9.98
171A Sessions IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

Super-limited "fanclub" release of what are apparently four unreleased tracks from the Rastafarian hardcore gods. The recording is surprisingly good for "lost" material such as this, really great actually, and according to the insert that comes with this, the three studio tracks featured here were recorded by the Bad Brains between 1981 and 1982 for a compilation of East Coast hardcore bands that never came together. Later versions of the songs ("Black Dots", "Send You No Flowers", "Redbone In The City") have appeared on the Black Dots collection that came out in the 90's, but the performance here is pretty damn ferocious, and the b-side, a previously never-before-released mutant reggae jam called "Recognize", is from a line performance in San Diego in 1985. The terrific sound quality makes this platter highly recommended for fans, but move quick - it's limited to five hundred copies.
