Taxi To The "Terminal Boredom' Zone

Over the years, talk-talk on the message boards at the Terminal Boredom blog has turned to the Imperial Dogs' Unchained Maladies: Live! 1974-75 LP that was issued on Australian indie Dog Meat back in 1989. To wit (and sometimes lack thereof):

"Denkinger said here's one on eBay for a steal, so buy it. And I'm glad I did, because all I had was the '(This Ain't the) Summer of Love' 7", which is fucking great. Any of the what is pre-punk and what is punk argument becomes irrelevant upon listening to this album. If punk rock is music and not a date on the calendar, the cuts recorded in 1974 are punk rock ... and still sound fresh today. Great record." (SSR, December 16,2007)

"Sometimes a bit too hard rock for me, often a bit too lo-fi, but still some neat proto punk moments." (Laurent Bigot, July 14, 2008)

"Way better than I remember, although can't be cranked up really high. Proto EVERYTHING." (Griffith, April 10, 2009)
