Proletariat - WERS, Boston 1981 + 1983

The Proletariat were from Boston and combined elements of Punk and Post-Punk to create a unique and original sound. Between 1981 and 1986 they released two albums, one single and a demo tape, as well as, featuring on several compilation records. Both these shows are from radio broadcasts and have excellent sound quality. The 1981 shows has a few rare songs. Can anyone fill in the song titles?

      Thanks anthony for those song titles! And, glad you got the shows after a long 20 year wait. They sound great on both of these shows, too. I would like to have those WERS 1982 tapes if you want to share them.

    Pretty sure from the handwriting that I sent you this back in the '80s. I'm mortified that I didn't provide names for several tracks.

      These aren't my tapes. I'm digitizing a friend's tape collection, of which these are a part.
