Mecht Mensch - Anthology

"Anthology" compiles the band's entire recorded output in once place for the first time ever and adds a couple live tracks for good measure! 26 pieces of Midwestern hardcore taken from the best sources possible....including the original master 1/4" reel for the classic "Acceptance" EP that Henry Rollins mailed to us from Spot's personal collection. Deluxe pressing featuring gatefold jacket, printed inner sleeve, 36 page zine and 24" by 36" foldout poster.

"Anthology" was compiled, curated, sequenced and produced by Bobby Hussy over the course of 5 years.

All tapes were transferred by Jessica Thompson in San Francisco, CA and mastered by Justin Perkins at Mystery Room Mastering in Madison, WI.

36 Page Zine features Liner Notes by Robin Davies (Tar Babies), photographs, flyers, logos, interviews, mock-ups, ETC.
