Reissued 2018, Originally released 1988

One of the reasons MISSION OF BURMA's small recorded oeuvre is so impressive is because it's so consistent -- they released two singles, a six-cut EP, and a 12-song album in a four-year recording career, and there's not a song among them that isn't worth hearing. One of the band's secrets was a matter of strict quality control, and if you need any proof, just give a spin to Forget, a 12-song collection of demos and outtakes recorded between 1979 and 1982. It's worth pointing out that MISSION OF BURMA were among the best American bands of the 1980s, and the material on Forget would hardly convince anyone otherwise; the edges may be rough, but the intense and intelligent heart of MISSION OF BURMA beats strong and clear on this disc, and given how little MOB material is available, practically anything is a welcome addition to the pantheon.
