Death - ...For The Whole World To See

· Inspired by some of classic rock’s heroes, Death riffrocked
with minimal leads at maximum heat, a la
Fred ‘Sonic’ Smith or MC5.
· Following their 1974 demo Death were given an
audition with Don Davis, whose chart-topping work
with Stax acts Johnnie Taylor and The Dramatics
had made him a local celebrity. Davis booked the
band into his United Sound Recording Studio, one of
Detroit’s main destinations for aspiring blues, R&B
and soul musicians, and they recorded the tracks that
make up this album with engineer Jim Vitti, whose
work with Parliament / Funkadelic seemed to
inform his decision to record Death in raw fashion
with little polish, showcasing the organic power
relationships within the trio.
· ‘… For The Whole World To See’, a fresh and
inspired early entry in the category of punk rock, is
the first full-length release ever for Death. The
band only released one 7" single, ‘Politicians In My
Eyes’ / ‘Keep On Knocking’, which now sells for
$1000 a copy.
