Recording information: 02/12/1986.
Another live set from the 1986 tour, K?ln could well be the best of the bunch. There is an actual song here (Ronald Shannon Jackson`s aptly titled "Brain Damage") and an opening track, the nearly 20-minute rumble called "Hard School," that scorches from top to bottom. This recording was supposed to come after Cassette Recordings `87 and before Iron Path, but Bill Laswell was involved in some rancorous disagreements with Enemy and the record`s release was postponed for a couple of years. But man, was it ever worth the wait. Open up and burn. ~ John Dougan
