Anthrax   02/19/1983

L'Amour, Brooklyn, NY
Media CDR   1 disc
Notes This one's hard to grade. It's actually a very well-recorded audience dub, and it may even be a soundboard, judging by how well everything's mixed together. But, the recording is very quiet, and the vocals have a tendency to drown out the music a bit when they go shrill. The source has obviously aged, though there is almost no analog hiss, which is nice. There is one glitch that seems to be from the master tape during Sin, but it's a quick one, and everything is stabilized right afterward. All in all, if this show wasn't so quiet, it could easily be in the A's. It's still a great, historic show, and features a lot of material that never made it to Fistful Of Metal. The band has more of a hair-metal vibe here (4-minute guitar solo and all), so it's interesting to hear this early development stage. If you like Anthrax, you'll definately love this. But, for casual fans just wanting a show to listen to, the distance of the recording may turn you off.
