@markcovino Mark Covino, I feel you! When I signed and recorded "Death" in 1973-74 everyone thought I was crazy. I never asked David Hackney to change their name of the band. They were "Punk Before Punk Was Punk" per the New York Times. Go figure.
Another example of how fucked my life is, that every moron and their mother refers to everything to do with the band as "A Band Called Death". It's funny, I fought my producers when they forced that title on me. Eventually accepted it. Now I'm starting to dread it again...

Signing and recording this band back in back in 1973 at the historic @UNITEDSOUND313 in Detroit was certainly a highlight of my long music career. @Crystal52241566
