Album Notes

Early '80s funky, demented raw punk/jazz from New York City's maestro of the New Wave. A superb live concert recording, mastered by James Chance.

"This live gem shows one of the brightest lights of post-punk at their most brilliant." - Alt. Press

From AMG:
"Lost Chance is highly recommended to funk connoisseurs - the Contortions may have been the most underrated funketeers to ever hit the stage. Out of the album's nine tracks, three are James Brown covers ("Super Bad," "I Got You," and "King Heroin"), which would surely bring a smile to the Godfather of Soul's face. Highlights are many, but tops would have to be "Sax Maniac," "White Cannibal," and "Hell on Earth." - Greg Prato
