FIGURES OF LIGHT
LPs & CDs
(Norton 336) They came and combusted as teenagers thirty years ago, now theyíre back to retake the two-chord monte in SPADES! Wheeler Winston Dixon wails while Michael Downey cranks up the proto-punk x-factor on this snarling set including their alarmingly faboo first single, newly unearthed live recordings from their first show ever in July, 1970, unheard demos and new NYC live and studio recordings. Essential!
