ALL COMMENTS AND GRADES ARE SUBJECTIVE! -- My list of stuff for trade: comps are at the end 101ers - Elgin Avenue Breakdown + 2 | 14/39 | A+ | STD+AUD LP>CDR The 101ers were Joe Strummer's band before the Clash. This is their posthumous album plus the B sides of both their 7"s. Letsagetabitarockin / Silent Telephone / Monkey Business (live) / Shake Your Hips (live) / Junco Partner (live) / Don't Let Go / Motor Boys, Motor / Sweety of the St. Moritz / Surf City / Keys to Your Heart / Sweet Revenge / Gloria (live) / Rabies / Five Star Rock and Roll Petrol 4-Skins (UK) - live 1981/03/09(?), the Bridgehouse, Canning Town | 12/29 | B+ | AUD CDM I've had an incomplete tape of this show for a while, and man is the "almost official" Live and Loud version an improvement. Any fan of the 4-Skins should check this out, particularly if you've heard the Bumper Sessions and think that they were an improvement on the otherwise weak 4-Skins sound... This is _raw_ in the extreme. This is the only known live recording of the first 4-Skins line up. There's a tape of this show with a shuffled tracklist floating around. Who knows which is right. Live and Loud was taken from either an ANAM or ANA1 tape, since they got it off the guy who recorded it. Wonderful World / Sorry / Summer Holiday / ACAB / Chaos / Jealousy / 1984 / Clockwork Skinhead / I Don't Wanna Die / Evil / Wonderful World / Chaos Accident on the East Lancs - Back End of Nowhere 7" | 2/6 | A | STD LP>CDR1 Nothing too exciting. Back End of Nowhere / Rat Race Accident on the East Lancs - Shotguns and Hotshots | 12/?? | A | STD ANAM>CDR1 Cassette only release. Some decent stuff. Teenage Runaway / 20th Century / Police / Back End of Nowhere / Bad Lands / Why Don't You leave us Alone / Let's Take it to Extremes / Tired, broken and Lonely / Wasted / What's new / the 1980's / We Want it Legalised Accident on the East Lancs - Tell me What ya Mean 7" | 2/6 | A | STD LP>CDR1 We Want it Legalized is good. Tell me What Ya Mean / We Want it Legalised Adverts - Live and Loud | 13/43 | B+ | AUD CDM The Link Recs Live and Loud release. Great, crunchy punk rock. My fave Adverts stuff. Gary Gilmore's Eyes / New Boys / One Chord Wonders / On the Roof / New Day Dawning / Quick Step / Safety in Numbers / the Great British Mistake / We Who Wait / New Church / Bombsite / Bored Teenagers / One Chord Wonders Afflicted - All Right Boy 7" | 2/9 | A | STD LP>CDR1 comment All Right Boy / Who Can Tell Afflicted Man - I'm Off me 'ead | 7/34 | A | STD LP>CDR1 Kinda wierd artsy 80's punk. It does NOT sound new wavey, there's a strong whiff of the 80's punk/oi sound. Half of it is decent, half isn't. The singer/guitarist was apparently involved in a horrible car crash and became a guitar strumming fundie Christian. The B side ("For the Few I Please" onward) has some surface noise that's noticable at the beginning and ends of songs. I'm Off me 'Ead / Crazy 'Ead / I'm Off me 'Ead, So Are You / For the Few I Please / Survival in 80s / Dustbins / It's too Easy Aitken, Laurel + Ruts - radio 1980/05/12, Peel Session | 4/?? | A | FM>ANA?>CDR1 Wow, I never expected to find any Aitken stuff with the Ruts backing him--they did a whole tour like that. Too bad it still sucks. Rock me Baby>Caledonia / Big Fat Man / Rudi Got Married / Jesse James Allied - 4 track demo (1982?) | 11/30 | B+ | STD ANA? Recorded on a 4 track in someone's bedroom. Doesn't sound like it's very generated, but the quality is still pretty rough. Leave My Life Alone / Time to Act / Harassment / Hidden Violence / I Can't Take Much More / What Will I do? / My Life / In the Right / I'm Going Nowhere / Cover Ups / Into the 80's Angelic Upstarts - Teenage Warning | 12/34 | A+ | STD CDM The Angelics first album, taken from a bootleg CD. The sound quality is great, even if the music itself is a little disappointing. Teenage Warning / Student Power / the Young Ones / Never Again / We Are the People / Liddle Towers / I'm an Upstart / Small Town, Small Mind / Youth Leader / Do Anything / Let's Speed / Leave me Alone Angelic Upstarts - We Gotta Get Outta This Place | 12/36 | A+ | STD CDM The Angelics second album and a vast improvement over their first. Never 'ad Nothin' / Police Oppression / Lonely Man of Spandau / Their Destiny is Coming / Shotgun Solition / King Coal / Out of Control / Ronnie is a Rocker / Listen to the Steps / Can't Kill a Legend / Capital City / We Gotta Get Outta This Place Anhrefn - Soft Lights and Loud Guitars (Part 2) | 6/18 | A | STD LP>CDR1 Anhrefn's half of the split. Kinda rockish punk. Nothing mindblowing, though the cover of Staring at the Rudeboys is worth a listen. Titles and lyrics are in Welsh. Translations are in paren (all taken from the back of the LP) Edrych Ar Y Rudeboys (an old classic) / Cornel (the old man alone in the corner) / Rhylwe in Moscow (love in moscow) / Action Man (your contry needs you?) / Be Nasa 89 (whatver next?) / Bach dy ben (Rock Against the Rich) AOA - Unlimited Genocide | 7/?? | A | STD LP>ANA1>CDR1 AOA's tracks from the Oi! Polloi split LP. Raging UK hardcore that does everything right, but still sounds boooring. Murder in the Woods / For all Those Who Suffered / All our Anger / Death on a Plate / Holy Hypocrisy / OSA / Aftermath Avengers - S/T | 16/47 | A+ | STD+AUD CDM>CDR1 The Avengers posthumous album, taken from the recent bootleg on Lady Butcher. We Are the One / Car Crash / I Believe in me / Open Your Eyes / No Martyr / Desperation / Thin White Line / Money Money / Paint it Black (Rolling Stones) / the American in Me / White Nigger / Uh-Oh / Second to None / Cheap Tragedies / Corpus Christi / Fuck You (live) Avengers - live 1977/11/25, the Masque, Los Angeles | 11/42 | D+ | AUD ANA?>CDR1 This is the earliest Avengers show to surface. It's got very muddy sound and one channel drops out briefly (fixed on the CDR by cloning the other channel). Something for the collectors only. If there's a better quality version of this out there, let me know. I'll do a 2:1 trade for it. American In me / We Are The One / Car Crash / Desperation / Summer Of Hate / Teenage Rebel / Open You Eyes / No Martyr / I Believe In me / Paint It Black / I Want In Avengers - live 1978/08/04, 1st set, Whiskey Au Go-Go, LA | 10/27 | B+ | AUD CDM>CDR1 The live tracks tacked onto the end of the Lady Butcher boot of the Avengers first album. Mastered from vinyl? Some of these songs are on Died for Your Sins in higher quality. The original source for these was probably a radio broadcast. the American in me / White Nigger / Don't You / Open Your Eyes / C'Mon Everybody (Eddie Cochran) / Kingdom / We Are the One / Thin White Line / No Martyr / I Believe in me Avengers - live 1979/06/13, the Old Waldorf, SF, CA | 5/?? | C(radio probs) | AUD(?) FM>ANA?>CDR Incomplete. Originally broadcast on the radio, and you can hear someone talking on another station and some static. The quality of the performance is pretty bad too. Cheap Tragedies / Zero Hour / Uh-Oh / Corpus Christi / Release Me Bad Brains - rehearsal 1978 | 6/14 | B | AUD ANA?>CDR1 This is not the "Black Dots" session. This sounds like it was recorded onto a boombox. The sound is decent, but the vocals are buried under the guitar. I do believe that this tape was used as the Bad Brains first demo. Here's something from the Caroline Records website about it: "By the early summer of 1979, the Bad Brains were already tearing up Washington, D.C. They were armed with a tape they made at rehearsal, a real rugged thing, and were looking for people to play it to. The Slickee Boys heard it and suggested the band go out to record these songs at the fledgling Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, VA." I Don't Need it / At the Atlantis (instrumental) / Pay to Cum / Supertouch / Shitfit / Regulator Bad Brains - live 1979/02/01(?), NYC (Earl's Birthday) | 16/4 | B+/A-(generated) | SBD ANA?>CDR1 This show is great, but the quality isnt as high as it could be. If anyone has an upgrade (or even a known gen copy), I will cheerfully trade you five discs for it. Date is most likely 1980, not the 1979 claimed by most folks.

And their fakey rasta-mon accents make me want to break out laughing. "Destroy Babylon" was on the tracklist, but it's not on the recording. Honest. unknown reggae / unknown reggae / Right Brigade / FVK / Big Take Over / Joshua's Song / unknown reggae / unknown reggae / unknown reggae / unknown reggae / unknown reggae Bad Brains - live 1982/11/14, 9:30 Club, Washington DC | ask me about this Strange...the Brains' rasta accents, as evidenced on the October 20 show are gone here, a mere two and half weeks later. Did they only feel the need to cop an accent out of town, or is that the only place they could get away with it... Questions questions. Bad Brains - live 1983/??/??, Santa Monica Civic Center, CA | 9/34 | A- | SBD ANA?>CDR1 Rough and somewhat generated soundboard. Nice slection of their reggae stuff. Anyone with a known gen tape should contact me. Rally Round Jah Throne / I Luv I Jah / The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth / I And I Survive / I Against I / Coptic Times / Destroy Babylon / Joshua's Song / We Will Not Bad Brains - live 1983/??/??, On Broadway, SF | 11/48 | A- | AUD ANA1>CDR1 This is a good show, good quality and known gen.

Good quality, good show, but I'd recommend Pig Pile (or the Sound of Impact) over this because A) Pig Pile is a better show, B) Pig Pile has better sound and C) Pig Pile is an official release. Go buy it. Fans will love this though... the Model / Fists of Love / L Dopa / Passing Complexion / Cables / Bad Penny / Pavement Saw / Kerosene / Steelworker / Pigeon Kill / Fish Fry / Jordan Minnesota / Big Money / I'm a Mess / RIP Big Black - Incredibly Corporate Whorish Interview Album | 2/?? | A+ | STD LP>CDR1 Funny as hell. See my Big Black page for more info. Side 1 / Side 2 Big Black - Sound of Impact | 15/50 | A+ | SBD LP>CDR1 Great selection of live stuff--any BB fan MUST have this. See my Big Black page for more info on this release. Ready Men / Big Money / Cables / Pigeon Kill / Passing Complexion / Crack Up / RIP / Jordan, Minnesota / Cables / Pigeon Kill / Kerosene / Bad Penny / Deep Six / RIP / Rema Rema Big Black - misc | 17/56 | A | STD VARM>CDR1 Compilation and vinyl only tracks, for the most part. Most everything is here. Source given in [square brackets]. Format is only noted where it's important (i.e. there are mutiple formats available). Il Duce [It's Toasted CD] / Rema Rema [7"] / the Crack up [God's Fav. Dog] / Every Man For Himself [God's Fav. Dog] / Big Payback (premix) [Middle of America] / Hunter's Safety (Tommy Bartlett Dies in Pain) [Middle of America] / Strange Things [Atomizer] / He's a Whore (mellow remix) [Total War] / Burning Indian Wife [Happiness is Dry Pants] / Kerosene (live) [Total War] / Big Money (live) [Hog Butcher] / Dead Billy (live) [Head Over Ears] / RIP (live) [Big Money] / Cables (live) [Big Money] / Pigeon Kill (live) [Big Money] / Texas (live) [Code Blue] / In My House (Mary Jane Girls) [5"] Big Black - radio 1987/04/26, Radio Lancashire | 8/32 | A | VAR FM>ANA?>CDR1 Interview and live segments form sometime in late 1986. The live stuff consists mostly (probably entirely) of material that's available elsewhere. My copy of this is INCOMPLETE, since the tape box lists Jordan, Minnesota after RIP. Date given above is the date of broadcast, not the interview. Intro / Cables / Interview / Kerosene / Interview / Passing Complexion / Interview / RIP (cuts off) Big Black - radio 1987/08/??, VPRO - Backline | 2/10 | A+ | SBD FM>ANA?>CDR1 Two tracks recorded live 1987/07/24 at the Hammersmith Clarendon. Slightly different mixes from Pig Pile. Includes DJ chatter. Bad Penny / Kerosene Big Black - live 1985/10/??, Detroit | 11/50 | B+/A- | AUD VIDM From the Atavistic Video release. The sound gets kinda muddled at some points, but it's still listenable, albiet very raw. Steelworker / Rip / Passing Complexion / Cables / Rema Rema / Pigeon Kill / Big Money / Dead Billy / Fists of Love / Kerosene / Jordan, Minnesota Big Black - live 1986/11/25, Paard Van Troje, Den Haag, Holland (2nd b'cast) | 6/21 | A+ | SBD FM>ANA?>CDR1 Excellent quality. The first broadcast containted more songs, as I seem to recall. Passing Complexion / Kerosene / Bad Penny / Jordan, Minnesota / RIP / Rema Rema Big Black - live 1986/11/28, Effenar, Eindhovenm Holland | 13/?? | B+ | AUD ANA?>CDR1 Okay quality. The person who taped the show also interviewed the band, and the interview is available as well. Interview is approximately 30 minutes, so it won't fit on one disc with the show. Fists of Love / I'm a Mess / Big Money / Steelworker / Cables / Pigeon Kill / L Dopa / Kerosene / Jordan, Minnesota / Bad Penny / RIP / Rema Rema / Passing Complexion Big Black - further material available--not yet catalogged. Black Market Baby - Battle of the Giants 7" | 3/6 | B+ | STD LP>CDR1 From the bootleg 7" (split w/the Outpatients). Sound quality is middle of the road...not the worst I've heard, but not as good as a studio boot should be. All three tracks recorded in 1982 and seemed to have picked up some of the DCHC velocity... Nobody Wants Us / Suzy Dear / Your Emotions Black Market Baby - Potential Suicide 7" | 2/6 | A | STD LP>CDR1 From the Yesterday and Today reissue. If you're not familiar with the band, yout fuckin' should be. Potential Suicide / Youth Crimes NOTE: Words of Warning are now online at ! You can buy United Colors and the Blaggamuffin 12" from them. The only other in print Blaggers stuff is the CD reissue of On Yer Toez, which includes the Beirut EP and the God Save the Cockroach EP (best thing they ever recorded) as bonus tracks. Buy a copy. See my Blaggers webpage at: http://www.dementlieu.com/~obik/arc/blaggers/ Blaggers ITA - Abandon Ship single | 4/15 | A+ | STD CDM+LP>CDR1 The Blaggers biggest hit. Didn't impress me much. Stresss is the single version. Here's Johnny comes from the orange 7". I'm looking for a copy with "Bastard Chilling" as the B side. Abandon Ship / Josephine Baker (live) / Stresss / Here's Johnny (live) Blaggers ITA - Bad Karma | 13/54 | A+ | STD CDM The Blaggers third real album, and also their last. the Hits / 1994 / Mantrap / Bad Karma / Famine Queen / Stresss / Abandon Ship / Nation / Garden of Love / Slam / Hate Generator / Oxygen / Josephine Baker (hidden) Blaggers ITA - Fuck Fascism... | 21/61 | B/A+ | SBD+STD CDM The Blaggers offical bootleg type album from '91--more like a bootleg than they expected since they never got paid. Includes 8 sub par live tracks, their first single, the Beirut EP (one track taken from scratchy vinyl) and a bunch of other stuff. It's up to you (live) / I Don't Know (live) / New York (live) / Get Outta Here (live) / Meat (live) / Emergency (live) / No Choice (live) / Ten Years on (live) / It's Up to You / Get Outta Here / Meat /Mutha Fukka / I Don't Know / Naples / No Choice / Victory for the ANC / Beirut / Real World / What For? / Wonderful World (4-Skins) / Ten Years on (live, from vinyl) Blaggers ITA - Guns of Brixton single | 1/4 | A+ | STD LP>CDR1 One sided 7". Second to last Blaggers release? Excellent version of Guns of Brixton (compare to the one on Blaggamuffin). A longer version was used as the B side to Mantrap. I'm looking a copy of the CD release. Guns of Brixton Blaggers ITA - Here's Johnny 7" | 2/6 | A+ STD LP>CDR1 Released in limited edition to coincide with the '92 general elections in England. Here's Johnny / Before I Hang Blaggers ITA - Mantrap single | 3/25 | A+ | STD LP>CDR1 Last Blaggers release on EMI/Parlophone. First two tracks are standard late Blaggers fare, third is boring (basically a fucked up version of Pitbull Mentality with new lyrics). If there are any other B sides, I'm interested in hearing them. Mantrap / Guns of Brixton (long) / Joyrider (on the Road to Basra) Blaggers ITA - Oxygen single | 4/16 | A+ | STD CDM The A side rules. The B sides, are, well, B sides. Is Ten Men Dead the Blaggers' favorite song? They've recorded at least five different versions (two live, three studio). Oxygen / the Way we Operate in 1993 / USD / Ten men Dead Blaggers ITA - Session | 5/19 | A+ | STD CDM One of the last Blaggers releases--maybe even the last Blaggers release. The cover says "Demonstration Copy; Lo-fi and Underproduced", but it sounds pretty produced to me. Standard late Blaggers fare (although Shutdown rises above). The CD cover also says "Fuck off Matty!", anyone know why? Shutdown / 1949 (1994) / Nation of Immigrants (Nation) / Karma (Bad Karma) / Love Generator (Hate Generator) Blaggers ITA - Stresss single | 4/14 | A+ | STD CDM "Ess tee are eee ess ess ess, Stress with a treble ess!" Despite my best efforts I really like this. Includes the good and bad versions of Stresss. Stresss (bad version) / the Way to Die / Wild Side / Stresss (good version) Blaggers ITA - Thrill her With a Gun 7" | 2/8 | A+ | STD LP>CDR1 Blaggers first release after being dropped by EMI/Parlophone. Thrill Her With a Gun / Dairy Thief Blaggers ITA - Way we Operate 7" | 2/9 | A | STD LP>CDR1 Very rare ltd edition 7" from 1992. Released just after the LA Riots (the Rodney King ones), and not very complimentary to the LAPD. These recordings are far superior to the versions on United Colors. the Way we Operate / Thatcher Chilling Bleach Boys - singles + some | 7/12 | A/B- | STD VAR>CDR1 The Bleach Boys are slightly legendary british punk rockers from 1976/7. As anyone who's heard of them knows, either of their singles will set you back $75 at the very least. This has both of their singles plus White Christmas, a recent recording that hasn't been officially released (mp3 sourced, but it's not available on the net), and a new version of Chloroform was left off the mp3.com version of their only album. Go to mp3.com and buy the damned album. It's worth it. The Bleach Boys also have a website up: , they seem to be pretty cool (well, they didn't bitch at me for trading this stuff around), so go and visit. And buy their damned album from mp3.com. Chloroform / You Got Nothing / Stocking Clad Nazi Deathsquad Bitches / Nuclear War / Death by Disco / White Christmas / Chloroform (album version) Blood - False Gestures for a Devious Public | 21/69 | A+ | STD CDM>CDR1 Fuck it, why do the best bands get reissued as limited editions? This is the only reissue of the Blood's early material--a killer blend of 80s punk/oi and straightahead metal and miles better than any of their new stuff. Such Fun (orig) / Megalomania (single version) / Parasite in Paradise / Calling the Shots / Napalm Job / Coffin Dodgers / Stark Raving Normal / Done Some Brain Cells Last Night / Degenerate / Gestapo Khazi / Well Sick / Sewer Brain / Sucker / Mesrine / Rule 43 / Joys of Noise / Waste of Flesh and Bone / Throttle Ya Blue / Such Fun (Outtake) / Megalomania (Outtake) / Alconaut Blood - other stuff | 2/8 | A+ | STD LP/CDM Two Blood tracks that haven't been reissued yet. Alconaut / Mesrine (7" mix) Bored Youth - Touch and Go interview + rehearsal | 11/37 | B+ | AUD ANA?>CDR1 Bored Youth interview themselves for Touch and Go fanzine, then do a rundown of their current set. The quality is actually really good--I much prefer this to their 7" session. interview / Are You Alive? / unk song / Yesterday's Heroes / unk song / Pressure's On / Here We Are / Temporary Release / unk song (try one) / unk song (try two) / They Don't Have the Right Breaking Circus - Home of the Brave 7" | 2/? | A | STD LP Really bad freebie 7" w/Pope magazine. Home of the Brave (Naked Raygun) / Warhead (UK Subs) Business - live 1981/??/?? | ?/?? | B | AUD ANA* I'm not sure this is actually the business. It sounds like them though. Smash the Discos / ??? / ??? / ??? / ??? (cut) Business - live 2000/02/12, Bo Jangles, Sacramento, CA | ??/?? | C+ | AUD ANA1 Overdriven somewhat, but not too bad. Same day as the Cock Sparrer show in San Francisco. Micky's in a talkative mood. Below average audience recording.

Taken from the Cost of Living EP. Cost of Livin ad Clash - Rude Boy promo soundtrack | 16/43 | B+ | AUD ANAM>CDR The sound is kinda thin (compare "I Fought the Law" to the version on "From here to Eternity" and you'll see what I mean), and the tape drops out in one place but this is still a great release. Includes an advertisement for the movie. Two tracks (London's Burning and Garageland) are incomplete. This is not the quality I would have expected from a promo release. Rude Boy ad / English Civil War / White Man in Hammersmith Palais / I'm So Bored with the USA / Janie Jones / White Riot / Complete Control / Tommy Gun / I Fought the Law / Safe European Home / What's my Name? / Police and Thieves (Junior Murvin) / London's Burning / White Riot (w/Jimmy Pursey on vox) / No Reason / Garageland Clash - studio 1976/10(12?), Polydor Studios | 5/11 | B+ | STD ANA?>CDR1 The demos that the Clash recorded for Polydor records.

"One Emotion" is from Pier Pressure, "Groovy Times" and "Last Gang in Town" are from tape and the rest are from the Reclaim the Music EP. One Emotion / Drug Stabbing Time / Safe European Home / Julie's Been Working for the Drug Squad / Stay Free / Groovy Times / Last Gang in Town Clash - studio 1979, London Calling demos | 3/8 | B | STD CDM>CDR1 Three 1979 demos taken from the Pier Pressure CD--which seems to have been mastered entirely from vinyl. Definitely not the Clash's best stuff. Ooh Baby Ooh may have been recorded at the Rope sessions. Anyone with info should contact me.

Decent show, good quality. The last "1977" cuts off. This is an unknown gen, but it's the best circulating version, and I got it from the guy who surfaced it (the upgrade), so it's not generated at all.

Crime were San Francisco's first and best punk rock band (well, maybe they're tied with the Avengers). They were so good that Dirk Dirksen couldn't think of anything nasty to say about them when introducing them. Formed in 76, released a few singles (in 76, 78, 80 IIRC) and were bootlegged constantly. Unfortunately Crime stuff is impossible to find and never stays in print long (even the legit reissue of Terminal Boredom from earlier this year is getting hard to find).

Pretty horrific huh? This isn't actually that bad--the music has the beefy, crunchy Ex Menace sound (recorded in the same studios!), it's just the soulless vocals that make me think instantly of Greenday and all their clones. They've got a noticable reggae influence that's completely ruined by the vox. Transferred on request. Our Way / Sick and Tired / See it Through / Some People Crucifucks - S/T demo | 10/19 | A | STD ANA?>CDR1 Fuckin' A! I've had this tape for three months but haven't bothered to listen to it because all I'd heard from the Crucifucks were their first two albums (both of which are absolute shit). This stuff pretty good, it's crunchy political punk from the eighties. Some of the tracks have crowd noise from a live show in between them or the phone calls that were on their first LP. Doc still sounds like he has his balls caught in a cuisinart. Democracy Spawns Bad Taste / Go Bankrupt and Die / Legal Genocide / You Give me the Creeps / Marching for Trash / Cops for Fertilizer / I Am the Establishment / Leave me Alone / No One Can Make me Play Along with all this Shit / Hinkley Had a Vision Crucifucks - I am the Establishment demo (1981?) | 6/10 | A | STD ANA?>CDR1 Same story as above.

I'll transfer it to CD on request, and the original vinyl copy (sleeve G, waterdamaged and split, vinyl VG/EX) is up for trade/sale. This is the only item that I enforce a ratio for, 2:1, becuase I'd have to listen to the LP to transfer it.

A handful of stores still have the LP in stock tho, so if you have turntable you're in luck. This was the best punk album of '97. They take the lessons of the Clash, the Ruts and the rest of the class of 77 seriously, but make their own sound. This is nothing like their earlier material, even though they rerecorded "We Wanna Know" and "Don't Conform". Ironically the only bad song is the Ruts cover...

I have to wonder why this didn't make it to CD with the rest of the "Live and Loud" series. If anyone has a copy of the Syndicate version, I'd be interested in a tape or CDR of it. Go Mad with the Gonads / SE7 Dole Day / I Lost my Love to a UK Sub / Dying for a Pint / Sandra Bigg and Jackie Wyde / She Can't Whip me / Chaos (4-Skins) / Stay With me / Harry May's Revenge / TNT / Run, Run, Run / Tucker's Ruckers Ain't no Suckers / Jobs Not Jails / Punk Rock Will Never Die Gwar - BDF | 1/4 | A | CDM Removed from most pressings of "This Toilet Earth" due to Tipper Gore/PMRC's meddling. BDF (Heavy Metal) Kids - Anvil Chorus | 10/?? | A | STD LP The Heavy Metal Kids were contemporaries of Cock Sparrer, but where Cock Sparrer released nothing until 1977, the Heavy Metal Kids released three albums (the last appearing in 1977) and achieved limited musical success at the time. This is their first album, from 1975. This is decent, stereotypical 70s hard rock, it's got the piano, wokka wokka sounds and lotsa hihat. Transferred on request. Hard at the Top / You Got me Rollin' / On the Street / Situation's Outta Control / Blue Eyed Boy / Old Time Boogie / the Turk (an' Wot 'e Smokes) / Crisis / the Cops are Coming / the Big Fire Infa Riot - live 1986/11/??, Leeds | 14/43 | C | SBD CDM This record sucks dick. Infa Riot reformed in 1986, played one really bad show (this one) and split up again. The greedy fuckers at Link records decided to release the recording as part of the "Live and Loud" series, hoping to sucker a few unsuspecting fans out of their hard earned money.

It's available from GMM records. Buy one. Now. Iron Cross - studio 1981 | 2/6 | A- | STD ANA?>CDR1 Two tracks from the "Flex Your Head" session (the other tracks + the remix of Wargames are on the official "Live For Now" CD). Wargames (original mix) / Skinhead Glory Iron Cross - live 1981(?)/??/?? | ?/?? | D- | AUD VID? The guy I got this from said it was a Vid1--there's no was in hell this is a vid1. This is the most generated, distorted piece of shit I've ever heard or seen. The tape garbles, drops out, or goes to B/W at least once a song. The sound is shit and the picture is pretty fucked up. I'd say it's a vid7 or 8 or even higher. The sound is so bad I can't even tell what half the songs are. Just plain sucks. What really sucks is that there's a Void set on the same tape that's just as bad--mebbe even worse. Iron Cross - live 1982/??/??, Showplace, New Jersey | 10/30 | B+/A- | AUD ANA* From one of those $3 tapes with a xeroxed cover--y'know the kind...

The line up was Captain Sensible (the Damned), Henry Badowskie (Damned 2nd line up/Doomed), Kym Bradshaw (the Saints, the Lurkers), and Dave Berk (Johnny Moped). Anti-pope / Baby Sign here / Jet Boy Jet Girl / My Baby Don't Care Last Rough Cause - Soft Lights and Loud Guitars (Part 2) | 7/25 | A | STD LP>CDR1 Last Rough Cause are a pretty much forgotten 80's punk band, they did two split LPs (Skins N Punks 1 with Society's Rejects and Soft Lights and Loud Guitars 2 with Anhrefn) and released one collectable 7". Forgettable pop punk with a reggae influence. Unfortunately they can't pull it off. the Great Divide / Hey Lady / Feel the Fear / Locked up / War Stories / Always had it Easy / Time to Think Maggot Sandwich - studio + live stuff | ??/?? | ? | STD+AUD ANA? Boring hardcore shit. Lots of it too. Partial tracklist available. Man Sized Action - Five Story Garage 12" | 8/19 | A+ | STD LP>CDR1 Sounds like a (slightly) poppier version of Metal Circus era Husker Du, with a pretty bland vocalist. The comparison probably isn't fair, but given that the band were all hardcore H. Du fans, only formed because H. Du went on tour and there was nothing else to do in M'pls, and released this record on H. Du's label, I'm going to let it stand. It's still pretty catchy and compelling. On the Phone / Can't Get Enough / Units / Start All Over Again / Replica / Couch Potato / Fifty-Seven / Different Than Now Members - vinyl | 10/?? | A+ | STD LP Vinyl only tracks from the Streets compilation, the Solitary Confinement 7", and their first two albums.

Recorded on boombox (probably), so the quality suffers. The last three tracks (I'm Civilised, 35 Bus, and GLC) are MIA. I don't like the new Menace, there's just something about hearing them turn awesome, energetic punk songs into boring, slow, uninspired drek that really turns me off. I Need Nothing / Last Year's Youth / Live for Today / Insane Society / Electrocutioner / C&A / Screwed Up / the Young Ones / Society Still Insane / Carry no Banners Menace - studio 1978 | 5/15 | B | STD ANA?>CDR1 These are the same recordings as the 7"s just a generated, a different mix and slightly fast. Tomorrow's World / Live for Today / Last year's Youth / Carry no Banners / the Young Ones Menace - live 1999/03/10 at the Monarch | 13/45 | B | SBD? ANA?>CDR2 I just listened to this for the first time in more than a year and it sounds a hell of a lot better than I remember. The sound is pretty clean and there's only a little hiss. The performance still sucks, thanks mainly to the new vocalist. "35 Bus" is a great song, and I don't think it's been released.

Partial tracklist available soon. Maybe. For anyone who's heard the NLW track on the (legendary) "Not So Quiet on the Western Front" comp this is the show that the "Wahoo Biafra" and "No Applause" comments came from, though the track itself was recorded in the studio. The quality is NOT as high as on the comp--this is pretty generated. Naked Raygun - live 1985/06/22, Hoboken, New Jersey | 17/41 | A- | AUD LP>CDR1 From the "Art of Throb Throb" bootleg. Pretty good. I expected it to be a bit more wild though. Still recommended. The date might be wrong--they say that "Throb Throb" is their new LP (1983), but they also say they've played in New York twice before. The vinyl I took this from was pretty cheap, and has definitely seen better days.

This is the source of their first single, but it's very generated, not to mention that when I got this it was sped up, making Spike sound like one of the chipmunks. I reduced the speed to normal.

Excellent session. I do believe that at the time this was recorded the only P&TTB stuff available was "Elvis is Dead" on the Vaultage 78 comp.

This is a real piece of history, the Press were heavily involved with the SHARP movement in its formative days and were on the last "Skins N Punks" album put out by Oi! records. This was recorded after Skins N Punks 5 was recorded, but before it was released. Roddy Moreno had just gone back to England, taking the SHARP concept with him. All the songs from S&P 5 are here, as well as an unreleased number and some covers. The band did five encores before the crowd would let them leave. Anyone who listens to punk and oi should get this--it's a great show. I finally managed to isolate and remove most of the annoying buzz, bringing the grade up to a solid B+.

Try finding this baby in stores (or anywhere else for that matter)... Also has the original mixes of "Revolution City" and "Wanna be a Radict" (both from Skins N Punks 5).

Tenderloin / Ballad of Jimmy and Johnny / Dope Sick Girl / Radio / Just a Feeling Rancid - studio 1994 | 10/24 | A+ | STD CDM These are probably the best Rancid demos I've heard.

The vocals are pretty far down in the mix, which is wierd since this sounds like a board recording and they usually have the opposite problem.

The sound quality suffers from the fact that this sounds like it was recorded from the back of a very large room. In some places the sound is muddled. That said, you've got to hear "Radio" and "the Ballad of Jimmy and Johnny". Timmy Chunks lends his throat on one song. Taken from the Hollywood Palladium/Live Pyuria CD.

Too bad it still sucks. Rock me Baby>Caledonia / Big Fat Man / Rudi Got Married / Jesse James Ruts - rehearsal, Bethnal Green | 6/18 | C+/B- | AUD ANA?>CDR2 This is an early, raw Ruts rehearsal, probably from some time in 1978. Sounds like it was recorded onto a boombox. It's really pretty good if you don't mind the sheer rawness of it. I'm pretty sure that this was recorded in 1978--but it seems strange that they wouldn't play "In a Rut" or "Babylon's Burning". You're Just a... / Backbiter / Slightly Deranged / H Eyes / Eat Your Heart Out (aka Fanatical Fascists) / Stepping Bondage Ruts - studio 1977(!?) | 3/9 | B | STD ANA?>CDR2 These arrived with the Ruts rehearsal above, but they were obviously recorded at different times. This is a studio job for sure, very clean sound but more primitive sounding than the rehearsal. After doing a little research and listening to all the Ruts demos I have I'm pretty sure that this stuff was recorded around the same time as "Rich Bitch" and "Lobotomy". The guitar has the same cheap as hell sound and Malcolm still hasn't learned to effectively use his voice. The official date for those tracks (from the back of the Stepping Bondage 7") is 1977, so the line up is prob'ly Malcolm Owen - vox, Dave Ruffy - bass, Paul Fox - guit, Paul Mattock - drums. In a Rut / You're Just a... / Society Ruts - studio 1978 | 10/28 | A/A- | STD ANA?>CDR1 Some of these are on "In a Tin" and "Rules". The last two tracks are from a different session (I think), and sound slightly worse than the other stuff.

From the guy I got it from: "The Hope and Anchor is a pub in Islington--a squalid dump. The gigs were downstairs in the basement, a room about 15 feet wide and 30 feet from the stage to the back wall. I would imagine in 1979 when the Ruts played it would have been absolutely crammed...and heaving."

I have an upgrade of the commonly circulating (and really wretched) version [it came from some crappy tape distro, so beware]. The old one was C+, this one is easily a B+. There's a little hiss, but the sound is a lot fuller and the levels are higher. Further upgrades are welcome (come on, someone has to have a known gen tape).

Quality isn't as bad as the grade suggests, but there are tape problems. Borstal Breakout / Hey Little Rich Boy / Rip Off / They Don't Understand / What Have we Got? Sham 69 - live at the Roundhouse, 1978 | 3/8 | A- | AUD FM>ANA?>CDR1 Three live tracks broadcast on the John Peel show. Rip Off / Ulster / Borstal Breakout Skin Yard - KDVS Radio 1989/02 | 8/31 | B | STD FM>ANA2 Radio broadcast from one of the very early Seattle bands. Sounds very generated because KDVS was a low power station when this was broadcast. EARLY Seattle bands (pre Nirvana) were a wierd mix of 70's funk (listen to those basslines!), hairmetal (listen to those wanky guitar solos!) and punk. You have been warned. God / ??? / Blackout / ??? / ??? / Sleep(?) / Over the Moon / ??? NOTE: The only Skrewdriver stuff I am interested in and trade around is from before Ian Stuart discovered Hitler worship. It's a pity he dragged a great band's name through the mud. Skrewdriver - All Skrewed Up | 13/26 | A | STD CDM>CDR Skrewdriver's first album and a genuine punk classic. Where's it Gonna End? / Government Action / Backstreet Kids / Gotta be Young / I Don't Need Your Love / I Don't Like You / An-ti-soc-ial / (Too Much) Confusion / 9 Till 5 / Jailbait / We Don't Pose / the Only One / Won't get Fooled Again (Who) Skrewdriver - Built Up, Knocked Down 7" | 3/10 | A | STD LP>ANA1>CDR1 Skrewdriver's third and rarest 7". Recorded and released in 1979 on TJM records. Ian sounds like he's trying to imitate Howlin Wolf, Lightnin' Hopkins, Etta James and all the old boogie bluesmen on the A side. The music also has a real heavy blues influence (with wanky hairmetal guitar solos thrown in for good measure). Laughably bad. The two B sides don't deserve the "laughable" prefix, just plain bad sums it up nicely. Skrewdriver broke up for the second time after this release. The last Skrewdriver release from Ian's nonracist days. Built up, Knock Down / a Case of Pride / Breakout Skrewdriver - Streetfight 7" | 2/4 | A | STD CDM>CDR Originally supposed to be Skrewdriver's third single, to be released in March of 1978, but it was pulled by Chiswick at the last minute because of fears of violence. Skrewdriver broke up shortly after this was(n't) released. There's nothing really amazing here, but it's worth hearing all the same. Streetfight / Unbeliever Skrewdriver - You're so Dumb 7" | 2/5 | A+ | STD CDM>CDR Skrewdriver's first single and easily one of the top ten punk singles EVER. Definitely the best thing they ever recorded. You're So Dumb / Better off Crazy Skrewdriver - live 1977/06/15, the Marquee, London | 15/32 | B+/A- | AUD ANA?>CDR1 I just got an incredible upgrade of this show. No dropouts and a good performance to boot. I previously had this show listed as 11/05, but I am fairly certain that it's 6/15 because Ian says that "You're So Dumb" is out "today". Amazing that a show this early would surface! Antisocial / Something's Got To Change / Pushover / Back Street Kids / Unbeliever / 9 Till 5 / Hey Man / Jailbait / I Don't Need Your Love / Better Off Crazy / Gotta Be Young / Government Action / Won't Get Fooled Again (Who) / You're so Dumb / I Don't Like You Stitches - 16 7" | 2/5 | A | LP>CDR1 When this 7" was released it was in EVERY top ten list in Maximum Rock N Roll. These guys are kings of the heap. 16 / Something New Stitches - Vibrator Buzz 7" | 2/5 | A | LP>CDR1 More good stuff. Vibrator Buzz / Same Thing Strike Under - Immediate Action EP | 5/13 | A | STD LP>CDR1 Early Chicago punk, had some stuff on Busted at Oz as well. Sunday night Disorientation / Context / Closing In / Elephant's Graveyard / Immediate Action Swine Flu - Killing Time 7" | 2/10 | A | STD LP Swine Flu were a british punk band who released one 7" and had a bunch of posthumous appearances on compilations. Best known for being Welshy's band prior to External Menace reforming. Did the orig verion of "Don't Call it Living". Killing Time / Lost Innocence Swingin' Utters - S/T demo | 9/23 | A | STD ANA1>CDR1 Cassette only release, maybe the first Swingin' Utters stuff? L.O.V.E.

I think that this was the first time they'd played "Almost Brave" live. The last song (a horrible cover of "Sunday Stripper") cuts off midway through. I managed to remove all the hiss on this tape, bringing it up to a high A. Excellent recording.

Sadly underrated 70's punk group. Very noisy, scratchy unmusical stuff with warblings from Vic Goddard. The demos are thin sounding, but completely listenable (if you like the style that is).

Hard rock from 1972. I think the best way to describe it is to quote the review that turned me onto them, "a profoundly unpleasant musical experience". I think the guy who reviewed it liked hippy dippy folk rock or something--this is rock n roll with some fuckin' balls. Worth checking out for the lyrics to "Hammersmith Guerillas" alone. This is a bootleg, and Terry Stamp (guit, vox) is not happy about it.

Decent SF Oi! I don't know much about them, but I think the vocalist is in Intrepid AAF. Anyone know more than I do? The world would be a better place if skinheads didn't feel the need to write bad folk songs called "raise your glass", "drink a pint", "bottoms up" or any stupid variation on the theme.

This is the Lions' second demo. Pray for Julie is the best cut, good playing, good production, just all around good. Royal Killers is also pretty great, with harmonica (Punk rock suffers a real lack of two things: harmonicas and harpsichords. And I'll bet you think I'm joking, too.) and some really raw vocals. The rest is solid--Guns and Children goes on a bit too long, the cliched lyrics don't help, and it's also hard to tell whether the song is about real guns or toy guns (or both), but that's a small qualm. They also demolish Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues in under a minute--raucous, wild shit. Dig it. See also: TO Hardcore Clones Pray for Julie / Guns and Children / Young Amerika / National Security / Royal Killers / Folsom Prison Blues Young Lions - Welcome to the Freakshow | 13/40 | A | STD LP>CDR1 Stupidly rare LP of this early Toronto punk band. Half the album was recorded in late 1983 (Freak Show through Pray for Julie) when the Young Lions were still doing their punk/rock (not punk rock, punk/rock) thing*, the other half was recorded in 1985, after they'd broken up and reformed. The material is pretty spotty, the last half of side B is particularly deserving of scorn, One Brick At A Time sounds like a fourth-rate Police song, Freedom Fighter is a pretty bad acoustic/folky number, and Outlaws is downright country...too much twang and stupid lyrics ("I just wanna be a cowboy")... Other than that, and the weak bass, this is pretty fuckin' hot. *In a Field on the "Something to Believe in" comp was recorded at the same time. See also: TO Hardcore Clones.

I recognize the stuff from the two Master Tape LPs, and some if this has been bootlegged before, but everything else is new to me.

The sound quality is not as good as it could have been, and the vast majority of the tracks sound like they were recorded onto boomboxes.

It's not a bad compilation, and I might even go so far as to say it's a pretty good comp, but the poor sound quality and production take away from its impact. The sound quality for the most part is awful (several of the bands contributed stuff recorded on a boombox). The standout tracks are AOF, with three powerful live cuts, die Kreuzen with three ass-kicking tracks recorded at a rehearsal (why didn't their album sound this good?) and Husker Du with three more live cuts from late '82. Without question the best track on the tape is courtesy of Suburban Mutilation--they just thrash along (and not in the modern sense of the word) for a minute and a half--just great stuff. The worst is from Big Black, who give us a live version of Texas that just sucks. Coming from me that should really mean something. The other tracks are pretty ty
