gather 'round,children. i'm going to tell you about what a compilation is. are you ready? you better be. a compilation is something that a record company puts out in order to either promote a band or an event. in this case it was an event that took place at a place called the white columns gallery located in new york city back in may of 1983. some of you probably weren't even born yet. goodness. and this was some of the bands that performed at this shindig. everything on this here compilation is live. the end. now get. the sleepytime pills are starting to do what they get paid to do.
