City Slang

There was a boxed set of the Sonics issued a couple years ago, consisting primarily of sound board recordings of various shows, including at the Second Chance in Ann Arbor, where I used to catch them when I was in high school. I bought it for my eldest daughter, Sophie, who had fallen in love with the band courtesy of a cassette tape I have from one of those shows, recorded on a portable Panasonic recorder set on the table with the beer glasses. The Sonics were one of the best live bands ever, no doubt about it.

The Masonic Temple recording was first issued in that box set. The set seems not to be available now, and was expensive to begin with -- so the live CD seems to be the one thing relatively easy to find, at least for now.
