Discover Detroit's electrified secret - an old record (1986)

You won't believe it, the vinyl came to my hands unexpectedly even from America (with a much bigger basket). I'll admit, it appeared in that bag because the name of the record sounded nice. I found the vinyl dirty, trampled, compressed - just like a punk rock record from the 80s.

Unfortunately, I knew almost nothing about the band, and even now I can't find information on the Internet. That's why the vinyl format is interesting - most of "this" recordings never appeared in digital form. Nevertheless, after researching and translating the Japanese texts, I found out that the songs are performed by - Carolyn Striho, and here her "most underrated" experimental art rock and nice groove Motown band "DETROIT ENERGY" ASYLUM".

I tried to clean this vinyl several times in different ways, but it is as it is. Better throw a rock at anyone who doesn't like the soft crunch of vinyl. I'm not a huge rock fan and I won't judge the melody, lyrics or instruments, but I just really like the sound. I've heard that in the past, punk rockers used to eat a lot of eggs before going on stage to stay energized. Now this is going to sound funny, but I hope you've had your fill and are ready for this burst of Detroit energy.
