Americana music legends, The Blasters were recorded on their first international tour in May of 1982 at the Venue in London England. Six of those tracks were released on Slash Records as a 12-inch EP later that year. Four more tracks were uncovered and included on the Rhino/WB anthology Testament in 1997. As part of a new catalogue deal for the Blasters recordings with Liberation Hall the label has uncovered thirteen more tracks to release the complete concert. The band is firing on all cylinders as they were taking off in London after Shakin Stevens version of the Dave Alvin-written "Marie Marie" hit the top 20 of the UK charts. It is quintessential listening and a magical music moment uncovered for any fan of the band. The double LP will include new liner notes, rare photos and memorabilia images all packaged in a gatefold sleeve. 13 of these tracks haven't ever been available previously. The set was originally released in 1982 as a 6 song EP. 4 bonus tracks were available as part of a double Rhino CD anthology, Testament: The Complete Slash Recordings released in 1997 .
