Another scratchy piece of Trash for you!

TRASH FLASH! 7"

V/A Garage Goodies LP (1986)

Great compilation focusing mainly on the London Garage scene of the early-mid 80's. The sound varies from 77 Punk/Pub Rock to more strictly garage oriented stuff... a bit scratchy (it even jumps at some point) but that's vintage Trash for you!

SPEEDBALL EP

The Cannibals - Please Do Not Feed... LP (1987)

My favourite Garage/Trash band... they had a unique sound and made every cover (and you'll get your share of 60's Punk classics on this LP!!!) sound fresh and exciting...

03. Can't Get Away From You

Get Primitive - The Best Of Pebbles Vol.1

A 60's Punk compilation... compiled by Mike Spenser ( The Cannibals)... what could you expect???... wild and untamed stuff!!!.... no rarities but goodies for sure!



GET PRIMITIVE! VOL.1

More of Lords' Gospel ( or is it Gothspel ?!) on Punk Friction and Music Ruined My Life

Side 1: Live For Today (extended version)
Side 2: Opening Nightmares (chorus of this one reminds me of Sham 69's Questions & Answers but Treganna is not quoted) + Dreams And Desires

LIVE FOR TODAY 12"

Demo-lition Blues! LP (1983)

One of the last posts on my old blog Sounds Fair... it resurfaced since I'm pretty sure but some of you probably missed it anyway...
Excellent compilation LP from 1983 featuring the Deceased, the Secluded, Picture Frame Seduction, the Oppressed, Youthanasia PX and lots of rather obscure bands. Most of my personal favourites are featuring on Side one but obviously you'll judge for yourself.
Now put on your Doc Martens boots, grab your Harrington jacket or your leather, open a few cans and POGO!!!
(Sound's quality varies but it's not always due to the vinyl.)



DEMO-LITION BLUES LP

Cult Maniax - The Amazing Adventures Of Johnny The Duck 12" (1984)

Wanted to post this for months... 12" version of Johnny The Duck with 2 tracks "Blue Baby" and "Village Ritual" not featuring on the 7inch version...

Side One: The Amazing Adventures Of Johnny The Duck And The Bath Time Blues + Blue Baby
Side Two: Village Ritual + Freedom & Maniax

THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF JOHNNY THE DUCK 12"

The Sting-Rays - Cryptic & Coffee Time Lp (1987)

There's a lot to say about this last Sting-Rays' studio LP.... but it's bloody hot right now and fresh beer is my main priority... let's sum things up... it's an ambitious album but didn't they overestimate themselves ?....it was a clear attempt to move from the juvenile exuberance to more mature, sophisticated fields... the problem is that it's patent, you just feel the effort...and it ruins most of it in my very very very very humble opinion.... so not flawless but really worth an "investigation"... the boys weren't talentless at all!.. now to the fridge...



CRYPTIC & COFFEE TIME LP

The Escalators - Something's Missing 7"(1983)

From the Meteors to the Tall Boys.... take the Escalators...

Side One: Something's Missing
Side Two: The Edge

SOMETHING'S MISSING 7"

The Orson Family - The Sweetest Embrace 7" (198?)

Orson's last release... not as brilliant as their classic "River Of Desire" but highly recommended nevertheless!

Side 1: The Sweetest Embrace
Side 2: Subterranean Homesick Blues

THE SWEETEST EMBRACE 7"

Abrasive Wheels - Banner Of Hope 7"(1983)

Always had a soft spot for "Law Of The Jungle"... could have featured on the Blood On The Cats compilations...

Side A: Banner Of Hope
Side B: The Law Of The Jungle

BANNER OF HOPE 7"

Demented Are Go - Holy Hack Jack 12"(1986)

From Wales... these (P)sickos are still decaying (that means alive in the zombies' tongue!) & kicking....

Side One: Holy Hack Jack
Side Two: Rubber Buccaneer + Don't Go In The Woods

Holy Hack Jack 12"

Purple Things - Kingsnake 12"(1987)

With this 12 " the Purple Things clearly took a more Noisy/Experimental orientation... something they'll develop further as Terminal Cheesecake.
I must confess that I never gave this record a proper listen before ripping it.......

Side A: Kingsnake
Side B: It's Too Late, Peter Gunn Got Hit By A Train

KINGSNAKE 12"

Play Dead - The First Flower 12" (1983)

I intended to post Play Dead's 7" "Break" but it jumps, stubbornly.... try to tell and explain an old little vinyl that it's very naughty to jump like that... it's useless...so instead I thought I'd post this 6 track LP.... and now I may play dead myself for a while...

Side A: Time, The Tenant, Propaganda
Side B: Sin Of Sins, In Silence, Don't Leave Without Me

THE FIRST FLOWER 12"

1919 Cry Wolf 12" (1983)

Always had a soft spot for this Killing Jokesque release... it's a bit scratchy but....
(Check out the archives as John posted their single "Caged" in August 2008....)


CRY WOLF 12"

The Wigs - The End Of The Obvious 12" (1985)

I haven't much to say really about this release. Good (that's debatable obviously!), original stuff mixing Punk, New Wave, Garage...the voice gives it all a true character... with Sting-Rays' original bass player in the line-up (I think!)... you can hear some double-bass on "The Dead"... they released another 12" on Media Burn "Six O' Clock Shuffle"... haven't got this one so if someone... well... you know.... well....

01. 13 Lines
02. If Tomorrow Will Die
03. The Dead
04. Halloween
05. Up In The World

THE END OF THE OBVIOUS 12"

The Cannibals vs. Surfadelics (Run Chicken Run Vol.1) LP (1987)

Split Lp with the great and sadly very underrated Cannibals (THE Kings Of Trash) and the lesser known Surfadelics. A release full of Garage/Punk and weird Psychedelic goodies! Produced by Mike Spenser (leader of the Cannibals' tribe) and Dave Goodman (yeah that Dave Goodman!)

Cannibals Side: I've Gone, I'm On My Own, Magical Carpet Ride, Twilight Zone, I Don't Wanna Change

Surfadelics Side: Don't Be Sorry, Abstract Eyes, The Trogg, I Didn't Know, Surfadelic Affair, Wild Thing

LOVE AMERICAN GLADIATOR STYLE EP

Jonny Cats - Ode To Sergio (Unreleased Album)

Icastico had the bright idea to leave a comment a few months ago and to introduce me (us) to Jonny Cats which he played drums for... truly excellent "surfbeatcowpunkmutherfucker"... "Bring Down The Bull", "Hellfire & Damnation", "Parched" are among my favourites... you really have to check it out!!!! I've added to this unreleased album their brilliant cover of Gun Club's "Sex Beat".
You'll get a losless version of this unreleased album and more of their material HERE
