NME/Rough Trade C81 & C86 Cassettes

Two essential post-punk cassettes from the 80's with plenty of noise, no wave, & even some dub thrown in. The track lists speak for themselves - a lot of these you'll know, some you won't. I like the first comp better, but that's just me. Jangle jangle jangle.

DOPE-GUNS'-N-FUCKING IN THE STREETS VOLS. 1-3

This was Amphetamine Reptile's version of the Single of The Month Club. A new 7" every month with two bands on each side (sometimes more). A brief look at the track listing shows many important noise/punk/grunge bands present in their larval stages, and there's not a bad song in the bunch. Not all bands here are Amrep, but it makes a decent sampler for those unfamiliar with the label's sound. Nasty, heavy, and sweaty: the true Amrep experience. I'll also post vols. 4-11 at some point if there's interest.

1. U-Men - Bad Little Woman
2. The Thrown Ups - Traffic Accident Sex
3. Lonely Moans - Lots O' Life
4. Helios Creed - The Last Laugh
5. Surgery - Action Candy
6. Cows - Almost A God
7. Halo Of Flies - Insecticide Stomp
8. Mudhoney - Twenty Four
9. Tar - Antlers
10. God Bullies - Tell Me
11. Tad - Habit & Necessity
12. King Snake Roost - My Zippo
13. God Bullies - Mussolini
14. Pogo The Clown - Intro-End
