The Remains

Recorded in the wee hours of May 26, 1966, 'A Session with the Remains' is a no-holds barred romp through their club set, captured live-to-tape in Capitol Records' studios.

Recorded as an audition for the label, the albums seethes and snarls, twists and shouts, rocks and rolls and generally embodies the force of nature that was the Remains. Performing a mix of originals and current hits, the band is in command at every step, rocking one minute and pausing to kibitz between songs the next. In attempting to describe this album, reviewers have used words like "blazing," "explosive," "delirious" -- but honestly, none of these descriptions comes close to what is contained in the grooves.
