Following the release of their only studio album G.I. in 1979 on Slash Records (produced by Joan Jett), the Germs recorded 6 original songs with producer Jack Nitzsche for the soundtrack to the film Cruising starring Al Pacino. Only one of the 6 tracks found its way onto the soundtrack, but the others were later released on MIA: The Complete Anthology.
In 1980, Crash contacted Smear about doing a “reunion” show to put punk in perspective for the punks on the scene. On December 3, 1980, an over-sold Starwood hosted a final show of the reunited Germs.
First time on vinyl. 2LP set, pressed on multi-coloured vinyl in a gatefold tip-on style jacket. Includes a poster and replica fanzine.
