Release date: 14-05-2009 (Originally released in 1991) 2009 8-track 2-LP Vinyl set,-Originally released in 1991 This live set and lucky enough to land a cheap studio job for "Wretch", the album proves to be a solid prelude to what would be the legendary Kyuss. Sealed in Originally colour sleeve. Tracks: 01. Astral Weeks 02. Beside You 03. Sweet Thing 04. Cyprus Avenue 05. Way Young Lovers Do 06. Madame George 07. Ballerina 08. Slim Slow Slider Hindsight is always 20/20, but Kyuss' promising debut album, 1991's Wretch, was completely ignored by media and public. This is quite understandable, as a paltry production job fails to capture the band's earth-shaking guitar rumble, and only repeated listens allow full appreciation of the band's developing songwriting skills. The album's finest moments find the band in mid-pace, locking onto massive grooves on "I'm Not," "Big Bikes," and the awesome "Son of a Bitch." While less impressive, they still manage to inject memorable hooks and catchy riffs into full-tilt thrashers such as "Love Has Passed Me By," "Isolation," and the especially savage "Hwy 74."
