[KJ] OT: Shriekback vs. Minutemen?

[Graeme Rowland]

I liked Nemesis at the time
but Shriekback seem dated now

My friend Ari Britt burnt me a CD of a BB
transcription disc which had a Shriekback gig on one
side and a Killing Joke gig on the other.

I've played the Killing Joke tracks to death but only
plyed SBack once...

Some of the KJ turned up on the Live at Reading CD,
but that was mastered so badly that this burn from
vinyl sounds better!
