Lion’s Share is a pretty decent bootleg – the sound quality is pretty good, especially since a lot of Germs bootleg material out there is pretty shitty. Side A’s tracks which include such songs as “Throw It All Away, “Now I Hear the Laughter” and “Lion’s Share” were produced by Jack Nitzsche (which explains the good quality – he won several Academy Awards and nominations for film score composition from films like An Officer and a Gentleman and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest). Side B is live Germs, recorded at the Starwood in 1980 and includes versions of a cover of PiL’s “Public Image,” “Shut Down” and “Richie Dagger’s Crime.” The band is a mess, especially Darby Crash, but again the sound is pretty good.
