NOTES
"I moved to L.A. in 1985. That summer there was a free gig downtown, and every band on SST played on a loading dock at the Nate Starkman building. A week later Black Flag played in an alley around the corner. I had moved to the center of the universe." -- Mark Kates
"Funny, what sounded so immense then is tame by today's standards." -- Albert O
"Punk is for squares. Pass it on." -- Thurston Moore
NOTES: CD compilation.
