A Band Called Death

Has anyone heard of "Death"?
I found out about them from listening to a Podcast a while back and just watched the documentary.
It's about 3 guys from Detroit who made a Punk album that never took off. They actually turned down a record contract with Clive Davis because they were unwilling to change the name. They self-released 500 45rpm's and then faded away.
Then someone rediscovered one of those 45's a few years back, and went looking for the rest of the recordings. They finally released the album (which unfortunately only has seven tracks).
It's really weird. It was made before punk music was around, but its completely punk. I'm completely digging the shit out of the record, and wish there was more. I was wondering if anyone else had stumbled onto this yet?
