NINTH CONFIGURATION - Vegas tape (1990)

 

Bought this tape for $5 at a little shop on Vancouver Island last month. Never heard them before but I was familiar with the name and knew they were from Calgary. This was their second and final release before half the band went on to play in FIELD DAY.

GAS - 1982-1986 LP (2008)

 

Japanese punk I first heard on "The Punx" compilation. This was on my Discogs wantlist for a long time until I snagged it for $10 off a friend who was getting rid of a bunch of records back in December.
