Previously unreleased live recordings from one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the CBGB’s scene. Captured at Boston’s Paradise Rock Club on August 27, 1979, this concert documents The Shirts – led by then-Hair star Annie Golden (later of Orange Is the New Black and Broadway acclaim) – at their electrifying best, touring behind Street Light Shine. Twenty tracks including fan favorites, deep cuts, and otherwise-unrecorded songs showcase the band’s trademark blend of New Wave energy, power-pop hooks, and rich vocal harmonies. Transferred from the original tapes and newly remastered by Prof. Stoned for this first-ever release. Mini-LP gatefold packaging with printed insert and 8-page booklet. Limited pressing.
