All photos were taken by Glen E Friedman, who has done album covers for the Beastie Boys, Public Enemy and many more. The package also comes with detailed liner notes from the band.
The band comments on the show and the release:
“Only our third show and we’re playing with Bad Brains at CBGB’s. Us? Really? So cool and unexpected. Yes, we’re raw and, frankly, fuck up, but that rawness also reflects the four of us going all out, emotions and adrenaline ruling the stage. And now that night’s out on vinyl? Also very cool — and even more unexpected.”
Guy Piciotto from Fugazi traveled with the band to NY for the show and had this to say…
” ‘Faith’ were one of the best live bands DC ever produced. Having been there, I can confidently say that their show with the Bad Brains at CBGB’s was the best concert happening anywhere on planet earth that night, nothing else could have come close, says Fugazi member Guy Piciotto who traveled with the band to NYC for the show.
