Vitamin- Recordings 1981Label: Don Giovanni Released 2022 It was 1979 when Boston teenagers Jason Shapiro and Mike McGlinchey saw the wide open door of punk as it turned to art punk and no wave, and scurried straight in. Shapiro was 14. McGlinchey was only a few years older. Neither had played an instrument for long when Vitamin formed. Eventually, violinist Margie Politzer and drummer Chris Gill joined to complete the line up. Inspired by the no wave impulse to tear rock

producer Samuel Charters enlisted nine of the Midwest's best blues artists to record a short set showcasing the electric sound of Chicago Blues

and genuine psychedelic exploration to fashion something altogether original and all his own
