NO MOTIVE

I suppose they've reached that kind of status now where Extortion bootleg records would be somewhat acceptable or at least unsurprising to most people. Besides the bootleg cassette from a few years ago, this thing marks the bands first subjection to the idea, the "Live/Dead" boot LP taken from a live recording in Paris from 2010. Black wax, 250 copies. This LP's producers, Usa E Getta, a label that I am completely unfamiliar with, have certainly put the term bootleg to full effect here too; this thing sounds like it would have been recorded with a mobile phone in someones pocket, it's really that rough and blown out. Unless you're a big fan of the band and very familiar with the bulk of their better mid era output, I suspect that you may have a little trouble really following along with this recording. Obviously though, I had to grab it recently when a friend brought it's existence to my attention via Discogs.
