First LP from the Osaka era of Crow, when the band was a fairly straight-forward dis-flavored punk band. It’s pretty primitive sounding and noisy; the recording quality and song structure makes it sound like it should be from 1980 instead of the late 80s, especially given where Discharge was (or wasn’t) at that point. Crow not only went back to the source, but took it to its primordial ooze with this raw rager. One unique thing about this record is that both sides close out with Last Chaos, but slightly different versions, or maybe Side B’s version is a continuation of Side A’s.

I have 3 copies of this, one is the fairly hard to come by 1994 Overthrow Records press (500 copies) - missing the patch of course. The original release was self released and is exceedingly rare and expensive (200 copies). Of course given its rarity, it had been bootlegged a ton, so it was finally given an official reissue and remaster in 2020 via Prank Records. I have two of those editions, which include reproduction patches / stickers. I always appreciate the attention to detail that Ken at Prank Records puts into reissues.
