Because their drummer was sick and unable to play the shows, they called themselves The Substitutes and invited guest-players to sit in for each of the nights.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Early 80s Hardcore CD EVER., June 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Vol. 1-Complete History (Audio CD)
