WRETCHED / INDIGESTI - Split EP (1982)

Classic Italian hardcore. Just got this in the mail today, so I thought I'd rip it right away and throw it up here. Both bands on this 7" are great, although I must admit I do prefer the Indigesti side. The original release goes for hundreds of dollars online, which is why I bought the 2012 bootleg instead. This version stays true to the '82 pressing with the same xeroxed inserts and stamped sleeve. Only differences are the labels are red instead of black and the track listing is reversed.

THE DISHRAGS - There's No Dee Dee EP (2007)

The Dishrags not only have the distinction of being B.C.'s (and one of Canada's) first all-female punk band, they also played Vancouver's very first punk rock show in July 1977. I believe this CD EP was released to commemorate the 30 year anniversary of that gig. If you already own the 1997 out of print compilation, "Love/Hate", then there's is nothing on this you don't have already. I think this too may be no longer available, outside of a few record stores in Vancouver. Tracks 1 & 2 were from the Vancouver Complication sessions, tracks 3-6 are from their two 7"s and track 7 is live.
1. I Don't Love You
2. Bullshit
3. Past Is Past
4. Love Is Shit
5. Death In The Family
6. All The Pain
7. High Society Snob

THE DETONATORS - Thousand Points Of Punk tape (1991)

I've never even heard of this band from Eugene, Oregon (by way of Redondo Beach CA) until recently when Dan gave me this tape to digitize. Great stuff here! Catchy punk rock with vocals that sound A LOT like Jerry A. from Poison Idea. Check out their previous album, "Balls To You", which is great too. Most of the tracks on this tape were later reissued on a few 7"s. Highly underrated.
