SLAYER - Live In Reseda (1985)

I was recently given a box of old cassettes, mostly of the punk, hardcore and metal variety. While I already had a lot of them on CD and vinyl, I was pretty stoked to find a pair of live Slayer bootlegs among them. They're both from the same show, recorded live in Reseda, California (misspelled as Regeda) on September 6, 1985. It's funny that they have Reign In Blood on the covers when there's no songs from that album on this set. The sound quality and performance are great and also includes a radio interview at the end. Check out the video of the entire show below.

1. Hell Awaits
2. Aggressive Perfector
3. Captor Of Sin
4. Final Command
5. Necrophiliac
6. Black Magic / Die By The Sword
7. Haunting The Chapel
8. Hardening Of The Arteries
9. Fight Till Death
10. At Dawn They Sleep

DOUG AND THE SLUGS - Get Up And Go single (1984)

As I've posted before, Doug And The Slugs are a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. Last year I posted their debut single, Too Bad. 'Get Up And Go' is a non-album track that was also on "Ten Big Ones", a compilation made up of selections from their first three albums. On the flip side, ska-flavoured 'Cover Of Love' is from the band's 3rd LP, "Music For The Hard Of Thinking".

VA - Shindig! LP (1985)

If you live in the Vancouver area, chances are you've probably seen this LP at one of the local record stores. It's a live compilation from CiTR's Shindig battle of the bands, which has been a yearly event since 1983. Past winners include 3 Inches Of Blood (2001) and Brand New Unit (1992). There's a good mix of styles on this record, with Death Sentence and NG3 representing the punk end of the spectrum. How Death Sentence lost to the Nerve Tubes (who's members would later go on to form the Odds, famous for 'Heterosexual Man') is beyond me. 

1. RHYTHM MISSION - Johnny
2. NG3 - Strength
3. RED HERRING - Tone Of Voice
4. NERVE TUBES - Things Break
5. MY THREE SONS - All Time Loser
6. DEATH SENTENCE - Dawn Of The Dead
7. NERVE TUBES - Kiss Me, Carl
8. NG3 - Government
9. RED HERRING - Brain Song
10. RHYTHM MISSION - Redundancy
11. MY THREE SONS - Get Out Of My House
12. DEATH SENTENCE - In Flames

In 1994, Dez Cadena, Thurston Moore, Mike Watt and Dave Markey got together to re-record 7 Seconds' 1982 EP, 'Skins, Brains & Guts'. It was done live off the floor in one take and sounds exactly like how you'd expect it to sound.

THE DOLE - Working Poor single (1997)

This 2 song 7" was definitely an improvement from the demo they put out a couple years before it. Too bad they did't release anything else. Members of this band also played in Subway Thugs, Emergency! and Soldiers Of Misfortune.
