This caught my attention...
"Arguably the best — or at least the leanest and meanest — tracks on “Live at Maxwell’s” are the punkier, brasher songs from the quartet’s first two releases for Minneapolis-based Twin/Tone Records, including “Johnny’s Gonna Die,” “Otto,” “Goddamn Job,” “Go” and “I’m in Trouble.” In fact, the primo quality of that early material may have been a detriment in Sire Records’ eyes.
“The songs from the Twin/Tone albums sound superior, and obviously that wasn’t really a selling point to the band’s new label,” Hill said."
Are they talking sound quality, performance of, or straight up the early stuff is better than stuff from Tim?
