Hey, thanks much for posting! I have the EP, and it's great to find it online and ripped. I had the great fortune to see the Avengers a few times in the last couple of years, and they rock really hard still, which is amazing!
ReplyDeleteBTW, this is well worth getting, because all of these versions are DIFFERENT than what was later on the "Pink" LP/CD and "Died for your Sins" CD. IMO, these versions here on the EP are far tougher and raw, much more impact. "Corpus Christi shreds and Penelope evokes with a visceral conviction that chills the spine!
thanks for sharing this. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this! would you be able to school me on how to open these files please. thank you again i have been searching for this record or at least the recordings for too long. the versions are more raw and tough.
ReplyDeleteLluvia - it's a RAR file. There are many free programs that you can use to open the file. I use WinRAR (it's an evaluation copy which is free). Just google WinRAR for help.
