Mission of Burma

Before the live recording at Space in Cambridge on October 6, 1979, Mission of Burma had released their debut EP, 'Signals, Calls and Marches,' earlier that year. This album, known for its raw energy and innovative sound, showcased tracks like 'This Is Not a Photograph' and 'Academy Fight Song,' both staples in their explosive live sets. During this period, the band was carving out their niche in the post-punk scene, blending noise rock with lyrical depth. The energy and experimentation from that live performance wonderfully capture the spirit of their early days, emphasizing their reputation for delivering intense, memorable shows. Fans often recall how their sound at this time was as much about emotional intensity as it was about musical innovation, making this live recording a rich piece of their artistic legacy.
