1. THE STEREOTYPES - 'Countdown' - Hinterland 7" - UK - 1979
We'll start this one with an ultra-rarity from Ilford, Essex. Their sole release. Read more here.
2. THE DIDJITS - 'Captain Ahab' - Touch And Go LP - USA - 1990
Yet another dip into 1990, this time for the Didjits (probably) best album 'Hornet Pinata'. Video here.
3. WHITE CROSS - 'Fascist' - Zero Degree 7" - USA - 1982
From their debut E.P. One of my favourite thrash records with one of my favourite record sleeves, resembling some strange creature from the original Outer Limits TV show. Brutal.
4. RATSIA - 'Taidetta' - Johanna LP - Finland - 1979
The opening track from the first Ratsia album.
5. THE SISTERS OF MERCY - 'Walk Away' - Merciful Release 7" - UK - 1984
A bit of gothic gloominess now with the rain coming down and all that.
6. KTMK - 'Pääni' - Barabbas LP - Finland - 1985
The opening track from the debut album '666' by Kansanturvamusiikkikomissio (no wonder they abbreviated it!) Nice rattling bass.
7. THE DIDJITS - 'Killboy Powerhead' -
A second track from 'Hornet Pinata'. The Offspring used to cover this song but hardly did it justice.
8. WHITE CROSS - 'No Straight Edge' -
A second track from their debut E.P.
9. KOLLAA KESTÄÄ - 'Johnny Rotten Go-Go' - Poko 7" - Finland - 1978
Back to Finland with one from their debut E.P.
10. SCRATCH ACID - 'She Said' - Rabid Cat MLP - USA - 1984
I used to distribute Rabit Cat records back in the '80s. I remember ripping open a big box and slamming this one on and being pleasantly surprised by the driving post-punk classic that blasted out of the speakers. Sadly, the rest of the record did nothing for me.
11. THOSE FRENCH GIRLS - 'O-O-O-O-O' - Safari LP - UK -1982
A terrible band with one decent song. This is from their self-titled album.
12. THE DIDJITS - 'Long Lone Ranger' -
A third track from 'Hornet Pinata'.
13. WHITE CROSS - 'Speed Of The Presses' -
A third from their debut E.P.
14. RATSIA - 'Ole Hyvä Nyt' -
And a second from their debut album.
15. THE SISTERS OF MERCY - 'No Time To Cry' - Merciful Release 7" - UK - 1985
Their last single before the line-up (and sound) changed.
16. THE DIDJITS - 'Sweet Sweet Satan' -
Enough of this nonsense, unleash the fireworks and Japanese monster movie footage for a fourth track from 'Hornet Pinata' with the best rock video ever made. 'Takes 10 tons of bullshit for 10 ounces of glory!'
17. WHITE CROSS - 'American Way' -
A fourth from their debut E.P.
18. KOLLAA KESTÄÄ - 'Kännissä Aamulla' - Johanna LP - Finland - 1979
One from their sole album 'Jäähyväiset Aseille'.
19. THE EXECUTE - 'Going Back' - Spook 12" - Japan - 1985
Although I'd feared for 'Criminal Flowers', The Execute's metal transformation was sadly only delayed for one record. This was the only track I could stomach from their 'Blunt Sleazy' E.P.
20. THE DIDJITS - 'Cutting Carol' -
A fifth track from 'Hornet Pinata'.
21. WHITE CROSS - 'Jump Up' -
And a fifth from their debut E.P.
22. KTMK - 'Valtiovoimaa' -
A second track from '666'.
23. THE SISTERS OF MERCY - 'First And Last And Always' - Merciful Release LP - UK - 1985
The title track from their debut album of the same name.
24. THE DIDJITS - 'Baby UR A Drag' -
A sixth from 'Hornet Pinata'.
25. WHITE CROSS - 'Suburbanite' -
And a sixth from their debut E.P.
