Included is ZENI GEVA’s landmark album “Nai-Ha”, the rare SUPERUNIT studio recordings and the live album “All Right, You Little Bastards!” culled from ZENI GEVA and STEVE ALBINI’s historic live performances in Tokyo and Osaka.
Steve Albini was an avid proponent of Japan’s ZENI GEVA, producing five albums, as well as various singles and compilation appearances for the ultra-heavy, progressive metal powerhouse. However, during a particularly prolific period, the near the dawn of the formation of his band Shellac, Steve joined forces with ZENI GEVA on guitar and vocals for a series of releases that are being collected on vinyl in their entirety for the first time ever.
