The posthumous album, originally released in 1984, has never been available on CD until now. The vinyl has been unavailable since the 1980s. Re-mastered and restored to its correct sequence with three bonus tracks. 32-page booklet contains ephemera, photos, and interviews. Vinyl is true all-analog, HQ-180 pressing. "Combining rock "n" roll"s traditional fetish for pure, unmediated feeling, with a more modern sort of artistic calculation, Burma"s music could evoke everything from the Beatles" ecstatic run of Hamburg rock clubs in the early 60s to the lightning-speed hardcore punk that was developing in the US during Burma"s tenure. In this sense, Burma can be said to have blithely encapsulated punk"s overarching mission: to draw a line connecting rock rebels past and present, and, in doing so, re-imagine and re-establish the music"s anarchic condition" - Salon.com. DVD Features: Live at the Bradford Ballroom, Boston, March 12, 1983 (evening show)
