This one was all about the LA Free Music Society, and came of the definitive document of it, the box set called “The Lowest Form of Music.” Because of the format of the box set, it’s difficult for me to give album names and years in many cases. But it’s pretty much all from the mid-eighties, and for the most part you’re only going to find it on the box set.
