EXCEL "Live 1985-1992" CD

18 tracks spanning EXCEL's most powerful era. Ltd edition Japan only release.

Japanese Import.
CD in gatefold digipack.

A collection of 18 live and rehearsal songs that traces the history of EXCEL, one of the most important bands in the Venice hardcore scene, along with Suicidal Tendencies, Beowülf, and No Mercy. This is an irresistible piece for fans, as the band has survived the enthusiastically popular Split Image and The Joke's On You periods. As much of the material as the recording time allows, the material has been included without being cut, so it's also nice to hear in between song banter. I can't say that the sound quality is hi-fi, but please enjoy the rawness and realistic atmosphere it documents.
