00:04It was a great time. It was that Motown time.
00:09And you know, here we are in the middle of all of this, playing rock and roll.
00:18One, two, three, now!
00:28Nobody was making music like that in 73.
00:31Three black brothers from Detroit, Michigan.
00:34What were they called?
00:35They were called Death.
00:37That's a good name.
00:38And you lost your mind.
00:42You told us you guys might have a record deal if you change the name.
00:47Absolutely not.
00:48We are fighting to maintain our identity.
00:51It's pretty hard to be black playing rock because you had to be Motown if you were black.
00:56White boy music!
01:00We got turned down by every major label.
01:04I just put the tapes in a safe place.
01:07I didn't think about them.
01:09One day the world's going to come looking for the Deathmaster tapes.
01:13There's been hardcore history sitting up in that attic and no one's known about it.
01:19We're just now discovering this band that had been sort of lying in wait.
01:24Something they pressed 30 years ago, selling for 800 bucks.
01:28Dad, why didn't you tell me?
01:30They said they're playing your music at underground parties here.
01:37It's been 34 years since the songs have been heard.
01:42It's one of those things that keeps you going to the record store, hoping for another great story like that.
01:54I don't know of a story like that.
01:58I don't know of one.
01:59Grazie a tutti.
