About

The Horrible Truth About Burma is a collection of live recordings by Boston-based post-punk band Mission of Burma,recorded during their 1983 farewell tour. The band had decided to retire because leader Roger Miller's chronic tinnitus had reached a dangerous level. Originally released in 1985 by Boston indie label Ace of Heart, the album was first reissued in 1997 by Ryko, then in "Standard" and "Definitive" editions by Matador in 2008. The Definitive version of the CD and the vinyl release also include a DVD of the full evening set at the Bradford, as well as the VHS version of the show for posterity. .
