Gang War
Crime Of The Century

Link to image of cover

This CD has a mix of studio demos and a good live concert. Unfortunately the sound quality is poor on everything. But since every Gang War release sounds poor it's something you learn to put up with. Both studio sessions are presented here. The first sessions were previously released on These Boots Were Made For Fighting and the second sessions were previously released on Gang War. The live show was previously released on Street Fighting.
You get a full 55 minutes on this CD but there is considerable overlap in the songs. For example you get 'M.I.A.' done three times. Get this one or Street Fighting if you can get only one Gang War CD.
