Death were a black power trio from Detroit, Michigan that released a single in 1975. Mos Def said, "These dudes were pre-Sex Pistols, pre-Bad Brains, pre-all that shit, and nobody knows about them."
Death (three Hackney brothers) grew up in a time where The Stooges and MC5 were the sound of early punk. But I agree, listen to "You're A Prisoner" and you'll hear all of the aforementioned bands.
Tryangle initially released the single. Drag City issued this 7 song album in 2009, and then a few labels reissued the 7" in the early 2010s.
While the LP version of this is sold out on the Drag City Bandcamp page, there is a CD and cassette version. And, of course, Discogs has many copies available.
