MORE ABOUT THE RELEASE:
We’ve merged forces with Overdrive Recordings in Italy to bring you a special vinyl edition of “EXTREMITIES. The Albini Demos and Live Beginnings ’88”, a raw, essential and indispensable testimony of an era that defined Killing Joke’s history. On one side you will find the ‘origins’ with the demo sessions, mixed by Steve Albini, where essential ideas of Killing Joke‘s sound were born. The legendary ‘Black Cassette’ contained these demos!
On the other side there’s a true rarity Excerpts from Martin Atkin’s very first show with the band at Burberries in Birmingham on Dec 20th 1988! That night saw the live debut of Extremities, The Fanatic, Intravenous, Beautiful Dead. A piece of history that would have defined a new era for the band.
