SAMHAIN - Last Gasp On Earth CD (2018)

 

Collection of live tracks, outtakes and interviews taken from the 'Last Gasp' and 'On Earth As It Is In Hell' bootleg 7"s as well as the 'Live 1984 Stardust Ballroom' DVD. I'd love to know the reason why Glenn Danzig won't reissue the SAMHAIN back catalog on digital and vinyl. He'd make a killing!

VA - Another Shot For Bracken LP (1986)

 

"This decent North American comp has something for every musical taste: powerful hardcore, funnypunk, melodic rock, reggae, a 70’s cover and a couple of mid-tempo standard tunes. F.O.D., A.O.D., DISSONANCE, and SCRAM stand out from the pack, but there could have been better tracks from the name bands overall."

SAMHAIN - Horror Of Lodi LP (2021)

Another live Samhain bootleg. Unlike the last post, this one's taken from an audience recording so you can really hear the requests for Misfits songs throughout the entire thing.

THE MISFITS - Studio Outtakes 1978-1979 LP (2023)

 

Just when you think you've heard every studio cut by Glenn and company, here comes this lost treasure outta nowhere! It's crazy to me that these alternate takes have never seen the light of day in the past forty-four years. Although I can see why they weren't included on the box set as it would've been overkill having like six versions of Who Killed Marilyn. But yeah the sound quality is great, no 2nd or 3rd generation cassette dub here. I'm sure this link will get taken down at some point so get it while it's hot!

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.

THE UNDEAD - Never Say Die! LP (1989)

 Found this collection 12" of The Undead's first three hard to find EP's still sealed at a local shop last week. I was only familiar with one of their songs (In Eighty Four) but I knew they were fronted by former Misfits guitarist Bobby Steele so I snagged it since it was reasonably priced.

VA - American Hardcore Compilation Vol. 1 tape (20??)

Bootleg mixtape of obscure and lesser known 80's USHC. I'm sure you'll discover at least a few bands you've never heard before, I know I did.

FATAL RAGE - Self Titled LP (1983)

Catchy old school punk rock from New Jersey. The vocals kinda remind me of Shawn Stern from Youth Brigade. Too bad this LP's never been reissued, because it's long out of print and pretty hard to come by. I don't even own this album. But instead of just posting a link from another blog, I borrowed my friend's copy and ripped it myself. Luckily his record was in great shape because I think it came out sounding better than the other rips I've heard online. You tell me.
