The show at New York’s CBGB‘s marked the end of a busy year for the band, who’d released their debut album Today in February. Billed alongside Sonic Youth, B.A.L.L. and Unsane, the CBGB’s show was a benefit for the celebrated East Village ‘zine shop, See Hear.

Much bootlegged, the recording – captured by the band’s producer Kramer and now restored from the analog source by Alan Douches at West West Side Music – is now officially available for the first time on LP, CD, cassette and digital.

Last year, Galaxie 500 released Uncollected Noise New York ’88-’90 on Silver Current.
