VA - Only In Canada, Eh 77-81 Volume 1 CD (2005)

Here we have a great compilation of early Canadian punk rock put out by the long abandoned Punk History Canada page. This disc is full of mostly obscure bands from Victoria, British Columbia to St John's, Newfoundland and almost everywhere in between. Many of these songs were previously unreleased and/or appearing on CD for the first time. I know there was talk of making a Volume 2, but considering this came out a decade ago and the PHC site hasn't been updated in almost as long, I don't think it's ever happening.

VA - A Compilation Dedicated To Tim Yohannan LP (2000)

Great bootleg comp featuring lesser known USHC bands from the 80's, and some we all know and love. A few of the songs were much quieter than others so I tried to even out the volume throughout the entire record as much I could. A few of these cuts can also be found on the old school HC mix I put together back in 2012. I was almost going to post this comp as one big long track I like I did for that mix (or two tracks - one for each side), but decided to splice it up because I know I'd be irritated if someone posted this LP like that. Hahaha
