No this is not some shitty techno compilation from the 90's but the 2008 CD reissue of Bad Compilation Tapes' 1985 Euro-HC mixtape. Seriously though, what's up with this layout?! HAHAHA
So, the LP came out in '08, but I'm pretty sure the CD came out a solid decade before that. And man, the CD cover is just plain awful, right? Funny story – first time I bumped into Craig from Schizophrenic was at a gig at Toronto's El Macombo, probably 1999. He was selling his label stuff at a table, and I straight up told him That the CD jacket was terrible. His comeback? "Can you do any better?" I said, "Hell yes!" I ended up designing and Illustrating more than a hundred Schizophrenic releases after that, which hopefully people like better. Craig is awesome and that's how I met him. Cheers, Darrin
Definitely a rad compilation. Haven't listened to it for a long time. Thanks, man!
ReplyDeleteYou got it!
DeleteDefinitely a strong compilation for the beggining of the new year. Continow like this mr. Jimmy and have a good year.

DeleteUgliest cover ever (WTF...) but all the classic songs from the original tape are here and some extras on top of that.
ReplyDeleteHaha right? What were they thinking?!
