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.
I (fades in) / Don't Need It (cut) / At the Atlantis / Pay To Cum /
Supertouch>Shitfit / The Regulator / Why'd You Have To Go / Don't Bother Me /
Unknown Hardcore Song / Banned In DC / Big Takeover / Stay Close To Me /
Attitude / You're A Migraine / Another Damn Song / The Man Won't Annoy You
Bad Brains - live 1982/03/25, Whiskey-a-Go-Go, LA | 12/?? | ? | AUD ANA?
Not so hot.
Pay To Cum / Supertouch>Shitfit / Banned In D.C. / The Regulator / Rally Round
Jah Throne / Big Takeover / Riot Squad / F.V.K. / I And I Survive / Right
Brigade / Joshua's Song / We've Come To Unite
Bad Brains - live 1982/10/20, Old Waldorf, SF | 11/46 | A+ | SBD FM>ANA?>CDR1
The quality is EXCELLENT, but there's too much boring reggae, too little
hardcore. 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. What a combo!
Reggae / Reggae / FVK / Right Brigade / I / Big Take Over / Reggae / Funk Song

Bad Brains - live 1986/11/26, Carpenter's Hall, San Diego | 16/~50 | B- | AUD

Distorted, muddy, not very good.
Intro / Coptic Times / Attitude / I / FVK / Day Tripper / Rock For Light /
Secret '77 / Right Brigade / Re-Ignition / I And I Survive / House Of Suffering
/ Sacred Love / Banned In DC / Let Me Help / At The Movies
See my Big Black website at: http://www.dementlieu.com/~obik/bigblack/
Big Black - Deathwish | 15/74 | A- | SBD CDM
Could be 1987/07/26, Leeds, UK. 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] /

(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

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

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.
Suburban Rebels / We want the Truth / Spirit of the Street / Out in the Cold /

Chron Gen - Live at the Waldorf | 16/48 | B | SBD CDM
Mediocre live recording of this great band. Was this an offical release?

Night / Behind Closed Doors / Misadventure / Wasted Love / Breakdown / Outlaw /
Mindless Few / Subway Sadist / LSD / Abortions / Living Next Door to Alice
Chron Gen - Chronic Generation + Free Live EP | 8/20 | A+ | STD+SBD LP

Clash - Cost of Living Ad | 1/1 | A | STD LP>ANA1
The only Clash track not to make it to CD. 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

Reason / Garageland
Clash - studio 1976/10(12?), Polydor Studios | 5/11 | B+ | STD ANA?>CDR1
The demos that the Clash recorded for Polydor records. They signed to CBS on
the same day. I'm sure Polydor was thrilled.
Career Opportunities / White Riot / Janie Jones / London's Burning / 1977
Clash - studio 1977/01/05-13, Beaconsfield film and 8 track sound studio | 8/17
| C+ | STD ANA?>CDR1
Mickey Foote demos from sometime in late 1976. The quality is pretty dire.
I'm so Bored with the USA / London's Burning / White Riot [take 1] (cut off) /
White Riot [take 4] / Career Opportunities / 1977 / Janie Jones / Heartbreak
Hotel (1978)
Clash - studio 1978, Island Studios, Rope demos | 5/29 | B+ | STD LP/ANA?>CDR1
Give 'em Enough Rope demos plus "One Emotion", an outtake from the Rope
sessions proper. "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.
Mona / Ooh Baby Ooh / You Can't Judge a Book
Clash - live 1976/09/05, Chalk Farm Roundhouse, London | 15/41 | A- | AUD

Deadly Serious / 48 Hours / I'm so Bored with You / Sitting at my Party /
London's Burning / What's my Name? / 1977
Clash - live 1976/09/20, 100 Club Punk Festival | 11/23 | B+ | AUD ANA?>CDR
Debut of White Riot. Not bad, but there's better stuff out there.
White Riot / London's Burning / I'm So Bored With You / How Can I Understand
the Flies / Protex Blue / Deadly Serious / Deny / 48 Hours / What's Name / Janie
Jones / 1977
Clash - live 1976/10/26, Barbarella's, Birmingham | 13/32 | B+ | AUD CDM>CDR

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. Sound is slighly muffled and
that's the only thing keeping it from being an A. The performance is typical,
nothing really special.

This show rocks, but my copy was taken from a high gen tape. It sounds like an
ANA4 or ANA5 at the very least. If anyone has a KNOWN GEN copy I will give just
about anything for it. This is raw, wild and out of control. Punk at its
finest really.

Good show, good quality. The sound is beefier than the Malmo show, but not as
energetic. There are NO CUTS in any of the songs, because the taper was smart
enough to switch sides between songs instead of in the middle of them. The
Prisoner is rough and has some different lyrics.

This record is a historical document for two reasons, it was the first release

it's not much to write home about. Backing vox provided by the Moreno brothers.

so great, it's pretty forgettable. Transferred on request.

ANAM>CDR! 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). Quality is _excellent_, if only all my tapes were like
this...

excellent quality. San Francisco's Doomed cuts off after about 30 seconds.

Critikill - Our Way EP | 4/?? | A | STD LP
Imagine one of those lamo East bay pop punk bands ala Greenday deciding they
wanted to play real Punk Rock like External Menace. 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.

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.

Poland's first punk band, too bad it sucks. This was recorded in 1979, but

love so much. 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

Naked Raygun, Big Black, Strike Under et al. Some website out there called them
the ultimate American skinhead band, but personally I don't buy it. There's a

I really hate to trade this around since External Menace are one of my fave
bands, but this CD is out of print and impossible to find. 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...

External Menace are one of two 70's/80's punk bands whose new material is as

VHSM
Holidays in the Sun. Taken from the (overpriced, import only) video. As with
all the HITS recordings there is NO low end whatsoever, and the quality is shit
(and it costs WAAAAY too much money). Not surprising, but disappointing all the
same. I wouldn't even recommend this to fans--it's pretty bad. Transferred on
request.

Recorded live in 1984 at Madison Square Gardens, Charlton, London (yeah right).
Originally released on Syndicate in August of 1984, rereleased in shortened form
on Link in 1988(?). Taken from the Link records version. This is another "live
in the studio" album. The first side (Go Mad... thru Chaos) was so bad I almost
sold the LP without listening to the rest of it, but the second side is actually
pretty good. 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.

(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.

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.

Wargames are on the official "Live For Now" CD).

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... Quality is

Live tracks from the "Crucified For Your Sins" CD. America's first skinhead
band? Known best for the number of bands who've covered them (most notably the
Bruisers' excellent version of "Live for Now", Ag Front with "Crucified" and DKM
doing "You're a Rebel").

the Lurkers), and Dave Berk (Johnny Moped).

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.

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.

Menace - rehearsal 1999 | 10/32 | C | AUD ANA?>CDR2
Rehearsal from the new Menace. 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.

Electrocutioner / C&A / Screwed Up / the Young Ones / Society Still Insane /

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.

Soundbord recording. Not much to write home about. Partial tracklist

"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.

Everyone was shitting themselves over this when it first surfaced, and

tracks have either very weak vocals or none at all. Aneurysm and Even in His
Youth fade in and out at the beginning and have somewhat rougher mixes, but
otherwise they're identical to the SLTS single and Hormoaning versions. There
are a bunch of annoying dropouts in all circulating versions.

Partisans - studio 1981, demo #2 | 5/8 | C+ | STD ANA?>CDR1
Sent to Sounds (where it won Demo of the Week) and No Future (where it won them
a recording contract). 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. One track
(Police Story) is missing. If anyone has a low gen version or even a known
generation ver I'd love to hear it.

Peter and the Test Tube Babies - radio 1980/10/27, Peel Session #1 | 4/10 | B |
STD FM>ANA?>CDR1
This is a pleasant surprise, the tape had very low levels and a lot of hiss,
but once cleaned up it sounded pretty good. 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 was used as a demo tape, and got P&TTB a
contract with No Future.
Moped Lads / Beat up the Mods / Elvis is Dead / Maniac
Prefects - radio 1978/08/11, Peel Session 1 | 4/18 | A | STD FM>ANA?>CDR1
Very good sound. Noisy art punk who only released one single (and that was ten
years after they broke up, and culled from their two Peel Sessions). There's a
lot of hiss, but I'll prob'ly be able to remove it.
Things in General / Escort Girls / Bristol Road Leads to Dachau / Agony Column

Press - live 1989, Downtown Beirut Club, NYC | 19/71 | B+ | AUD VHS3(?)>CDR1
The quality is really good considering that this was recorded with a camcorder.
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+.

Radicts - Rebel Sound + 2 | 14/45 | A+ | STD CDM
Another great band who got ripped off. This album has all their officially
released material except "All Said and Done" which is available on the From the
Ground up compilation on Eyeball records. 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).

Rancid - Demos from the Pit | 23/52 | A- | STD CDM (commercial CDR)
Has their first EP and a bunch of early (late 92 or early 93) demos. Great
stuff, but it sounds like it was mastered from a cassette. If anyone knows
when, where and why all these demos were recorded, let me know. I find it hard
to believe that they're all from the same session.

Rancid - studio 1993, Westbeach Studios | 5/10 | A- | STD CDM
Outtakes and stuff from the Radio Radio Radio session in late 93 (anyone have a
better date?). Radio seems to be a different mix than the single and Dope Sick
and Feeling sound like different versions to me, but I could be wrong. Taken
from the "Demolition Sessions" CD.
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. I think these were the
demos for "...And Out Come the Wolves" (anyone have a date?). Taken from
"Demolition Sessions".

Blast 'em / Leave it to Tomorrow
Rancid - live 1993/06/26, 924 Gilman Street, SF | 10/25 | B- | SBD CDM
Pretty good show from the early days of Rancid. 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. Compare the manic style to the laid back,
lazy approach on the 1995/11/11 show. Taken from "Demolition Sessions".

Rancid - live 1995/11/11(?), Hollywood Palladium | 22/53 | B- | AUD CDM
Distant audience recording from right before the release of "...and Out Come
the Wolves". 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. There's definitely better stuff out there.

Ruts - Grin and Bear it | 4/14 | A+ | STD+AUD LP>ANA1>CDR1
The Ruts second LP, compiled and released after Malcom Owen's death. Only the
tracks that haven't been rereleased are here. The live stuff was recorded
1980/01/07 for French TV.
West One (Shine on Me) (remix) / SUS (live) / Babylon's Burning (live) /

Ruts - Live | 11/34 | B- | SBD+AUD LP>CDR1
The original LP does have gaps between the songs, and there seem to be tracks
from two shows--one completely over the top and wild, the other laid back, even
tired sounding. Despite Dojo's history of crappy bootlegs, this is pretty good.
Anyone have a dates or complete tapes of these shows?

Alright, the complete Ruts Peel sessions! Anyone have any of the Ruts DC

of the other tracks were on Grin and Bear it. The first session is kinda weedy
sounding, but the other two are excellent--must haves for Ruts fans. *

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
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.

Ruts - live 1979/03/07, Hope and Anchor, London | 13/42 | B- | AUD ANA?>CDR1
There's some crackle on the recording and some distortion (it's like that on
the tape). Nothing very special. 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."

Commonly dated 1980/11/18, this is more likely 1980/01/18 since Malcom died on
06/14 and the Ruts toured Europe in January of 80. 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).

First ever Pistols LP. This is shit hot, being the 1976 demos (plus Anarchy

attempt to get the Pistols a record deal. The best of the rest, as it were.

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.

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.

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!

This is a great soundboard recording of the Utters at their best. 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.

Demos, one live track (from Punk in London?) and their two singles. Sadly

Third World War - II | 7/36 | A+ | STD CDM
These guys were featured in MRR's "Pioneers of Punk" a while back. 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

skinheads didn't feel the need to write bad folk songs called "raise your

Other than that it's good HC influenced Oi!.

Young Lions - S/T demo | 6/20 | A | STD ANAM>CDR1
From an original copy. 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.

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.

V/A - Code Blue | 30/60 | B+ | VAR ANAM>CDR1
Despite the great lineup of bands, this comp is surprisingly weak. 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
