Americana music legends, The Blasters were recorded on their first international tour in May of 1982 at the Venue in London England. Six of those tracks were released on Slash Records as a 12-inch EP later that year. Four more tracks were uncovered and included on the Rhino/WB anthology “Testament” in 1997. As part of a catalog deal for the Blasters recordings with Liberation Hall the label has uncovered thirteen more tracks to release the complete concert. The band is firing on all cylinders as they were taking off in London after Shakin Stevens version of the Dave Alvin-written “Marie, Marie” hit the top 20 of the UK charts. It is quintessential listening, and a magical music moment uncovered for any fan of the band. The CD booklet includes new liner notes from Chris Morris, rare photos and memorabilia images. Vinyl version is available exclusively for Record Store Day and available at indie retail shops.
