Sacramento-based Public Nuisance is known for gritty, baroque psychedlia that was too hard for the hippies and too poppy for the punks. Their masterpiece Gotta Survive is the perfect amalgam of all that was great about the late-Sixties garage rock scene. The album was shelved after the Manson Family murders took place at the home Melcher had leased to Roman Polanski. In the aftermath, all of Melcher’s projects at the time were shelved and “Gotta Survive” suffered that unfortunate fate.
Third Man presents “Gotta Survive” with new artwork and mastered directly from the original two-track analog masters by Ron McMaster (the band’s drummer!) at Capitol Mastering in Hollywood, CA. Comes with MP3 download code for the entire album.
