La Peste was Boston's first true punk band and bridged the gap between the city's influential 1970's proto-punk hotbed and the college rock and hardcore punk that followed in the 80's and 90's. This collection aims to tell the full story of La Peste with a presentation of the band's unreleased studio and loft recordings along with the two tracks that have been officially released.
These tracks come from the studio session that produced the Better Off Dead 7" (the band's only official recording), their 1978 session with The Cars' Ric Ocasek, a 1978 session at Electro Acoustic Studios and 4-track loft recordings made by Boston punks Billy Dafodil and Dave Cola in 1977.
