32 years ago today (tomorrow) a legend gave a performance. These STOOGES tracks were 20+ years old then - old but not yet old enough to be timeless...yet.

Wild mid-decade hardcore punk from both bands, including a 17-minute interview from STEP ONE. Never heard anything from either before this tape...recording is rough, but you take what you can get with you're unearthing history.

ASEXUALS

length: 13 minutes

Just four songs, when it starts with the title track from 1985's 'Contemporary World' and then sneaking in a faster version of "Contra Rebels" from the first LP, four is just enough to leave you hungry. Those first two records are flawless, and this recording captures their melodic fury at their height.

Short lived and under the radar Detroit group - members would later play with only slightly less under the radar acts DARK CARNIVAL and NIKKI & THE CORVETTES. The live set captured "at a party" in '77 features a STOOGES track, the tail end of "Helter Skelter" and a searing version of THE WHO's "My Generation" in addition to the band's eponymous tracks "I'm A Ramrod."
