1. THE BUTTHOLE
SURFERS - 'Suicide'
- Alternative Tentacles MLP - USA - 1983
The early Surfers
were a far different beast to what they became during the Touch and Go years.
This is from their first MLP, later retitled 'Brown Reason To Live'.
2. GRAND UNION -
'Rozzlyn Rangers'
- Demo - USA - 1981
Well, Grand Union were Skewbald were Rozzlyn Rangers - in 1981 anyway. Not sure this is from the '81 demo but my old cassette copy had it on so I'm going with it.
3. THE BAGS - 'TV
Dinner'
- Live - USA - 1978
From 'Live From The Masque' Volume 1. More live Bags here
4. THE MISFITS -
'Night Of The Living Dead' – Demo – USA – 1980
Early versions of
Misfits songs are plentiful. This is from '12 Hits From Hell - The MSP
Sessions'. And just for the hell of it, here's a live classic.
5. DINOSAUR Jr. -
'Kracked'
- SST LP - USA -1987
Dinosaur Jr. were a
bit meandering for many people, but they did have their moments. This is from
'Youre Living All Over Me'. Hit that wah wah pedal!
6. THE DICKIES - 'Canyon' -
A Dickies song that never appeared elsewhere! From 'Live From The Masque' Volume 3.
7. Y TRWYNAU COCH -
'Beth Sy'n Dod Rhyngom Ni' - Recordiau Coch LP–
UK – 1980
A catchy powerpop number from their ‘Rhedeg Rhag Y Torpidos’ album.
Unmistakeably Welsh.
8. FLEKE - 'Marionete' - Demo - Yugoslavia - 1978
'More Yugoslav bands!' you all screamed. Here ya go then. From Serbia.
9. THE EYES - 'Go-Go Bee' -
From 'Live From The Masque' Volume 3. Another hot live recording here
10. THE MISFITS - 'Vampira' -
My personal favourite version of the song. 'Black dress moves in a blue movie . . .' From '12 Hits From Hell -
The MSP Sessions'.
11. THE BUTTHOLE SURFERS - 'Hey' -
A strange one from 'Brown Reason To Live'. At this point we had no idea
just how strange they'd actually become.
12. DINOSAUR Jr. - 'Freak Scene' - SST LP - USA - 1988
Their minor hit song from 'Bug'. Video here.
13. THE BAGS - 'Violent Girl' - Live - USA - 1978
From 'Live From The Masque' Volume 1.
14. Y TRWYNAU COCH - 'John (Cwrw Ar
Ei Gornfflecs)' - Recordiau Coch LP – UK –
1980
Another track from ‘Rhedeg Rhag Y Torpidos’.
15. THE MISFITS - 'Halloween' -
From '12 Hits From Hell - The MSP Sessions'. But what exactly is
'Brown-leafed vertigo'???
16. GRAND UNION - 'You're Not
Fooling Me' - Demo - USA -1981
Another track from their demo.
17. THE CUNTS - 'Chemicals In The
Mail' – Disturbing 7” – USA - 1978
OK, this is a terrible recording, so if anyone has a better-sounding rip
I'd very much like to hear it. I reckon Flipper had this in mind when they
wrote 'Get Away'.
18. THE EYES - 'The Happy Song' -
From 'Live From The Masque' Volume 3.
19. DINOSAUR Jr. - 'The Wagon' - Sub Pop 7" - USA - 1990
Released later on 1991's 'Green Mind' album. Sounds like it's about rehab. Video here.
20. THE MISFITS - 'Skulls' -
A fourth selection from '12 Hits From Hell - The MSP Sessions'.
21. BULDOGI - 'V Kotu Sveta' - Demo - Yugoslavia - 1979
Who can guess what 'Buldogi' translates as? From Ljubljana in Slovenia.
22. Y TRWYNAU COCH - 'Angela' – Recordiau Coch 12”
– UK – 1979
A nice little love song from their ‘Un Sip Arall’ E.P.
23. THE BAGS - 'Chainsaw' - Live - USA - 1978
