Naked - Terminus Club, Newcastle England 3-81

Naked were my favorite early 1980s Anarcho-Punk band. Unfortunately the last 7 songs of this show are missing from my tape. It's an audience recording and is a bit rough but good enough for Punk.

track list:
01. Die Blind
02. Mid 1930's (Pre-War Germany)
03. Our Correspondant
04. Say It Now
05. Suicidal State
06. 1984
