I bought the vinyl LP shortly after "Let's Go!" came out. "The Reducers" sounds better to me now than it did then. It includes Reducers classics such as "Better Homes and Gardens" and "Out of Step." This was the best punk band I ever heard. It is wonderful to be hearing "The Reducers" again. alanlewis

It slays me that I wasn’t able to see this show at the time (I was working in my last crap retail gig and we were doing an inventory shift). The roomtone may say “Arlene’s,” but this set takes me back to the El n Gee, the pier, Manitoba’s, everywhere I was fortunate enough to see one of the greatest rock bands of the past forty-odd years. This set is ON FIRE, showing just how cohesively the boys played, how strong their songs were, and how much they just loved to play. Goddamn, what Stopheles
