Human Garbage

Human Garbage is a 1984 live album by the UK underground artist Mick Farren and friends, released under the name The Deviants.

Farren had relocated to New York but a return visit to London gave him the opportunity for this one-off performance with Larry Wallis' Previously Unreleased group at Dingwalls on February, 1984. In addition, former MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer, a long-standing collaborator with Farren, flew in for this performance.
