For the last post of 2022, here's a German comp originally released on vinyl in '84. See you next year, cheers!

VA - Punk Hardcore Subterraneo En Paraguay LP (2011)
Compilation of Paraguayan punk and HC from the 90's and 00's. My favourite band on this by far is Rabia Kallejera, I wonder if they have any more recordings? What's interesting (at least to me) is that the oldest track on here is from 1990 (which can also be found HERE). I'm thinking that it may very well be the first punk rock recording from Paraguay. Maybe it's just me but I'm kinda fascinated by countries that are late comers to the genre, like Ecuador.

LARS NICOLAYSEN - Shit Happens CD (1995)
The name Lars Nicolaysen may not a ring a bell to most but some might be familiar with his solo project Skit-Lars from the MRR comp 'Welcome To 1984'.

VA - Raridades Vol. 1 EP (2008)
You don't really hear about early punk from Portugal in comparison to their next-door neighbours Spain. I do remember Lisbon having a thriving hardcore scene when I was there 20 years ago. This little 4 song sampler isn't really much to go on, but it'll have to do until someone releases a 'Bloodstains Across Portugal' or something.

VA - War Between The States: North tape (1985)
Released the same time as the War Between The States-SOUTH tape I just posted. Like many comps, this one's hit and miss. Ripped from the recent CD-R reissue.

CONFLICT (US) - Live In Tuscon 12/3/1982 tape (2019)
Fairly decent live recording (by early 80's punk standards) featuring songs from their America's Right tape and Last Hour LP plus a couple not available on either. Speaking of America's Right, someone needs to reissue that demo on vinyl!

GOLPE JUSTO - S/T EP (1991) **RE-UP**
UPDATE 10.26.2022 Originally posted this in 2020 but I've just re-upped it because I recently noticed my original rip had a skip that merged the last two tracks so seamlessly I thought there was no break between them. Sorry my bad, all fixed now!

GEPØPEL - Complete 1982-1985 LP (2008)
(Almost) complete discography of this early 80's Dutch HC outfit compiling their 'Paracide' 7", split tape with Funeral Oration, as well as various comp, demo and live tracks. For fans of Pandemonium, Larm and just fast shit in general.

VA - No Pigs / Neuroot / Stanx LP (2001)
Unofficial 3-way split of mid-80's Dutch hardcore. Whoever put this together could've done a better job with the layout, but hey it's a bootleg. Whaddya gonna do?

VA - Bloodstains Across Northern Ireland LP (1998)
This was a recent blind purchase or as I like to call it, a deaf purchase as I'd never heard any of the bands on this comp before buying it. But hey it's a Bloodstains record, they're always chock full of obscure gems. This'll be right up your alley if you like your punk rock a little more on the glam rock/power pop side.

STARK RAVING - Sniveling And Whining MLP (1987)
Saw this record at a local shop last weekend thinking it was STARK RAVING MAD at first glance. I gave'r a quick listen and dug it enough to buy it since the price was right. Don't really know anything about this band except that I think they were from Connecticut and this 12" was their only release.

PURE HATE - We've Got The Right To Remain Silent, But....... EP (1986)
Fast & angry HC from the streets of Haarlem. Netherlands, that is. Ripped from the bootleg reissue of the 1985 live comp, "Babylon: Bleibt Fahren" that included this EP as a bonus for some reason.
