This is 20/20's complete set. The exact date might be Nov. 5, 1978, a show at which 20/20 shared the bill with The Last. The original sharer said: “Band as three-piece before being signed to Portrait Records. This is when the band was an unfiltered, terrific unit.”
MEGA THANKS to h1w1p & PowerPopTart for sharing.
I've heard some of these in fair quality, but the music itself is top notch. Look forward to hearing some of the unheard ones here. I don't know about you, but their first and third full length, I liked better than than their "Look Out." Great posting and Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI should give those albums another listen. Not a true fan, but I still enjoy some of their tunes...
DeleteI love all 5 of their albums, but personally, Look Out was their best.
ReplyDeleteI remember meeting these guys in a recording studio in Hollywood on Western Ave, It was your first record release.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool!
