Recorded between 1980 and 1982, this 60 minute audio compilation charts the progression of the band through three vocalists and numerous drummers, maintaining the constant nucleus of Stan, Trotwood, and Herr Karl Heinz. It’s a testament to the band's humble punk beginnings, definitely Buzzcocks, X Ray Spex influences to the final metamorphosis in November 1982 to Skeletal Family. All tracks are presented in chronological order, from the thrash punk of “Cannot Carry On” to the Goth classic “Trees”.
Please note, as these tapes were originally recorded 25 years ago, please expect some reduction in sonic quality, especially from the earlier sessions. Re-mastering was undertaken from original studio tapes and digitally reprocessed / enhanced. Any audio defects present, originate from master tape degeneration and are not a fault inherent in compact disc.

Released in a plastic DVD case.
