Matrix #: ORGM-2179
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

1. First issued only as a mail-order cassette in 1982, it spread mainly through hand-to-hand tape dubbing rather than standard record-store distribution.

2. Recorded in New York at a moment when the band had strained relations with many D.C. venues, capturing them essentially in exile from their home scene.

3. The members began as a ’70s jazz-fusion group called Mind Power; their later “Positive Mental Attitude” focus gave hardcore an unusual mix of discipline and chaos.
