CBGB: New York City Soundtrack 1975-1986

[Machine Translation] The definitive 4-CD compilation that gives you a bird's eye view of everyone's favorite CBGB, a small box in New York that has produced many legends! The dry snare bounces on RAMONES' "BEAT ON THE BRAT", SUICIDE's "GHOST RIDER" maintains tension with extremely minimal repetition, TELEVISION's "SEE NO EVIL" cuts through space with its sharp guitar tones, and DNA's "JAILHOUSE ROCK" closes in with a dense mass of noise. TELEVISION's "SEE NO EVIL", JAMES CHANCE & THE CONTORTIONS' "JAILHOUSE ROCK" that pushes the groove of narration, DNA's "BLONDE RED HEAD" that approaches with a dense mass of noise, etc. The diverse temperature differences that crossed the venue, from the hardcore of MINOR THREAT, the post-punk of BUSH TETRAS, and the power pop of THE DB'S, to say nothing of the funk and chaotic no-wave, were captured as they were in the sound. Includes a large booklet with commentary for each band. Domestic edition with obi liner. Commentary: Ryohei Matsunaga ( Rhythm & Pencil )
