This is the GORGEOUS and VERY RARE Minutemen Folk City West recording. I’ve had it for years, but have only now just digitized it. 

This was the minutemen’s first US tour, and first ever appearance in NYC, and they are on FI-YAH! The recording would be an A+ if the vox were just a C.H. higher in the mix…and the show was complete…As it is, the first song cuts in, and the last song cuts. If ya listen really closely to the stage chatter, it seems like The Product was the last song of the set. Only 6 secs of it is here, which hurts, but what’s here is blistering. Watt blows a clam and starts the song in the wrong key, but gets it back in key just in time fer the recording to cut…oh well…

Don’t let that detract ya, silly! Ya got 36 songs that ARE complete! I have only traded this once, on cassette (which means if ya DO have this, however unlikely, it’s probably at least a gen higher than this.This recording has been outta circulation fer a while. I hope ya enjoy.
