Lama: Onks Marko Tll? – Live cassette

Description

1982 official reissue. Recorded live at the Seinjoen Nuorisotalo, Finland, 1982 .
Tracks B9 and B10 recorded at the soundcheck. Comes with two sided A4-insert.

Our take: The archival label Finnish HC (the same label with whom Sorry State is co-releasing the H.I.C. Sisteemi cassette we announced this week) brings us this reissue of Lamas 1982 live cassette. Onks Marko Tll? was recorded in November 1982, the same year Lama released their one and only album. The set here is based largely on the album (they even start the set with the same two songs the album starts with), but they play tracks from the earlier 7s too, including my personal favorite Paskaa. The sound is rough but good enough, and while there are a couple of shaky moments toward the beginning of the set, Lama unsurprisingly reveals themselves to be just as capable on stage as in the studio. Its a different side of the band than their live album Tavaista, and their studio recordings too, for that matter. This isnt where Id start with Lama, but if youre a big fan and/or you love great live recordings of hardcore bands (there arent a ton of you, but youre out there!), youll get some mileage out of this.
