Notes:

While this version of the film has dramatically improved picture quality, it is not without its drawbacks. First of all, the "widescreen" is actually simple cropping. If you compare this screencap to this cap of the other version, you will notice that the top and bottom of the frame have been lopped off. In addition to that, this copy of the film is missing the performance of "Two Little Boys" by Splodgeness Abounds and the closing credits are cut. The choice is yours.

Review:

A lost classic. This film documents the west coast punk/alternative scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s. A wonderful glimpse into music history.
