slightly annoying that the download code you get with the vinyl doesn't give you the bonus tracks from the double cd...

The atavistic cd is mis-tracked, though that affects the single more. Remastered, so of course more gain now, but the bass is more prominent as well. Atavistic CD gives you "Sad Girls" as a bonus.

About a dozen or so tracks from various library gigs, but nothing repeated from the 2002 Live At The Library 1977-78 release on Gulcher...although both releases do feature tracks from a particular May '78 show. xpost to Stevo

Thanks, does sound pretty necessary then.

Really cool long piece about the band, bringing them up to the present day

I tracked down 2015's "So Funny" which passed me by (it's on bandcamp) and it is very cool

I knew a few of those guys for quite a while before I knew they had been in this band. I think it was shortly after Weasel moved to Oakland ... and he told me about MX80 and asked if I knew any of these people, and he listed a couple names. And my response was like ... Dale? The guy that runs that movie theater in Berkeley?

So sad! Now that this makes me finally think to check, tons of stuff on their Bandcamp.

Bruce worked at Amoeba at the same time I did in '00-01. I don't think I've crossed paths with him since then but he really made me laugh. They were like THE Amoeba band.

Found out that Live At the Library was on Spotify earlier but the band has about 4 different listings and they don't seem to be interconnected on the site MX-80, MX-80 Sound, MX80 Sound etc
Would be good if the cd of Live At the library was reissued. Cos i think it's great stuff.Also remember the Forcedexposure cover story being really good and probably my introduction to the band.
I wound up with a Di leva cd in the mid 90s and then found out that she was married to one of the 2 guitarists but I can't remember which
