SONIC YOUTH Vinilo y CD

Review: Everyone's got Goo, Daydream Nation and Washing Machine, it's time to branch out a bit with this Sonic Youth album. This is a mind-blowing live album recorded at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago on October 14, 1987 - four months after the release of the New York band's critically acclaimed Sister LP. This features an intro by the late, great record producer and champion of artistic freedom Steve Albini and the subsequent setlist is a snapshot of a band on the verge of their imperial phase, finding leaner songs after developing a reputation as rock n' roll disrupters. The album was first rolled out as a semi-bootleg on the Geffen-baiting label Goofin' and now the Superior Viaduct label is making it more widely available. It's long overdue and a vital part of the Sonic Youth puzzle.
