...For the Whole World to See

Seven songs recorded in Detroit in 1975 and released by Drag City in 2009.
Death, 2009

...For the Whole World to See (Drag City DC387) collects the seven songs recorded at United Sound Systems on February 18, 1975, engineered by Jim Vitti, with Death credited as producer (the Red Bull Music Academy says Groovesville Productions produced with Columbia's funding). David Hackney played guitar, Bobby Hackney bass and lead vocals and Dannis Hackney drums; Tammy Hackney took the photograph. It runs 26:23. Metacritic scored it 76; AllMansic gave it 4.5 stars and Pitchfork 7.1. Jack White told the New York Times: ahead of punk, and ahead of their time. Treble's Jeff Terich wrote on February 19, 2009 that "Keep On Knocking" is as powerful and anthemic a track as "1969" or "Kick Out the Jams", and catchier at that.
