Description
Romeo Void - Live '81-'85 - Double-LP set compiling some of the band's best performances from their personal archives. Contains eighteen tracks from four differnent shows. San Francisco-based post-punk/new wave scene band Romeo Void actively toured the world throughout their early 1980s career. This double-LP set compiles some of the band's best performances from their personal recording archives. Features eighteen tracks from their three studio albums including the alternative radio hits, "Never Say Never" and "A Girl In Trouble (Is A Temporary Thing) along with fan favorites "Chinatown", "Instincts", "White Sweater" and others. The tracks are compiled from four different dates starting in Albany, New York in 1981, Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1982 and two from their 1985 European tour in Berlin and London. The album is packaged in a gatefold sleeve with rare images from the band's personal collection of photos and memorabilia. The artwork was designed by band members Frank Zincavage. Fan of the band, Neko Case says this about the collection: "Live '81-'85 captures that sweet spot after the record is made where you tour until the songs come out of you like a gorgeous martial arts drill and you wish you could go back and record them all over again. Debora Iyall's vocals are so confident and commanding. She is one of those singers who make me wonder how much less myself I would be if they hadn't been there."
