OTHER INFO: Last year, DEATH (the 1970's proto-punk crew, not the Florida metal band) overtook the world with the album 'For The Whole World To See', a collection featuring their rare (and incredible) 1976 single and unreleased studio tracks from the same era. Now comes 'Spiritual-Mental-Physical', a collection of wild early Death demos, presenting the three young Hackney brothers consolidating their powers as they embark on a trip into pure rock and roll music. The sounds on 'For the Whole World To See' are those of young men, scorching their influences in the process of becoming new. 'Spiritual-Mental-Physical' gives us Death by transistor radio, with a tinny - yet furious - sound representing the 1970s environment of Death. Here, the musical landscape that inspired them is more clearly defined as they demo material that didn't make it to the studio, but shares the same ferocious bent as 'For The Whole World To See'. 'Spiritual-Mental-Physical' is an inside look at Death's early days, one that fans of the group and fans of punk rock (and, indeed, rock of all kinds) are sure to enjoy for the rest of time.

VG or Very Good : Some surface noise will be noticeable in quiter passages but will not overpower the music.The cover may have writing,tape or stickers,but not all three.
