Blistering live recording of the best selling Melvins album ever. Originally released in 1983, Houdini is considered by many to be the blueprint of the whole grunge movement. The whole concept originated from an invitation by the All Tomorrows Parties people to perform the entire Houdini album live as part of their don't look back series. The band rented a warehouse in Vernon, just south of LA, set up the gear and rehearsed all afternoon for the invitation only performance that evening. Then after running through the show twice, they took the tapes to the studio, picked out the best songs of the two sets, mixed them and mastered them onto this cd. First time ever on vinyl.
