ACTION SWINGERS COMPLETE LONDON TOE RAG SESSIONS (Cheap Date) Rough, raw & brutal recordings: "Fix Me/Fooled Again/I Don't Wanna Be This Way/You Only Know My Name/Nothing To Me Now/Girl On The Train Pt. 1 & 2/Nobody's Scared Pt. 1 & 2/Tim Bummer Rocks London Pt. 1 & 2/Noise" LP €13.30 ARMITAGE SHANKS URINAL HEAP (Damaged Goods) Can’t help it, but still dig them a lot! 16 cuts of pure and simple UK Punk. CD-only: Drowning Not Waving/ Dirty Water/ You Owe Me/ Jack regan/ 14th Floor/ Six Minutes/ Hold On I’m Coming/ Shifting Sands/ Told You So/ Get Yourself Together/ Circles/ Dust/ Knock On Wood/ Ladyboy/ Where Did It All o right/ Urinal Heap. CD € 15,00 LOS ASS-DRAGGERS ABBEY ROADKILL! (Crypt) Maybe too wild to listen to it all the way through, but take out just single songs and they blow you away. Different 45s would have been the better format, but heck, just play a couple of songs and stop when it's too much... 21 cuts: "Big Daddy/What About The Fucking Martians/College Radio Shit/Karate Mountain Men/Limbo Dancer/Shitty Instro/F.U. Dirty Old Man/Big Black Joe/Casino/Little Miss Linda/Make Me Rock/Move Yer Ass Right Now Jerry Garcia/Drivin & Stinkin/Go Ahead/Asskickin/Gay Twist/Cheapo Beer/Makin Shit Like A Bear/El Esleazo/Treat Me Like A King/What Do Ya Do". LP €8.00 CD €5.50 BASSHOLES "Broke
Chamber Music" (Secret Keeper) Damn great collection of early
45s, plus some unreleased and live stuff. All tracks are recorded between
1992 and 1994. If you don't mind lo-fi recordings, I'm sure you'll dig
the unbelievable "Changes Had To Come" or gems like "John
Henry/ Jelly Belly/ Haunted Hill/ Cockroach Blues/ Hokey Pokey (She Said
I Got) A Problem" and more. 23 tracks, which is a overkill to listen
to all the way, but if you just pick out some at a time, this is GREAT!!
CD €12.50 BLACK TIME "New Vague
Themes" (P.Trash) Very few left of this limited (mini) LP
release(200 copies). The unplayed b-side wax comes with a purple silkscreen
artwork. 180 gram vinyl and packed into 2-colored silkscreen Cover LP
€ 16.00 CHROME CRANKS "Way
Out Lover" (SFTRI) Yass, back in print! "Way Out
Lover/ Some Kinda Crime" 7" € 5.00
CRAMPS: I think pretty much up to the 'Date
With Elvis' LP all their stuff is essential. After that you get some weaker
records too, always with good songs on though, so I needed them anyways
- maybe you do too. DEL GATORS Pound down (Voodoo Rhythm) Wild garage party with ex members of Spaceshits, Sexareenos, Scat Rag Boosters etc. Great Mummies style party platter! LP € 12.90 / CD (SFRTRI) € 14.00 DWARVES BLOOD GUTS & PUSSY (SUB POP) Reissue of their excellent 1990 release. 11 short but sharp tracks that blow away everything they released after "Thank Heaven For Little Girls": "Back Seat Of My Car/Detention Girl/Let's Fuck/Drug Store/Skin Poppin Slut/Fuck You Up & Get High/Insect Whore" etc. LP €12.30 FIREWORKS SET THE WORLD
ON FIRE (Crypt) 18-song debut LP/16-song CD from this Dallas, Texas
punkabilly triple-guitar/no bass/simple drum combo! Lo-fi noisy roots
rock mess! 9 originals and a hip batch of covers of Link Wray, Bob Luman,

Road/ Weird /Fire Engine Lady/50 Megatons/Hey Fucker/ Come On/When My
Baby Passes By" etc! LP €8.00 CD
€5.50 GAUNT WHITEY THE MAN (Thrill Jockey) Rare as heck 7-song 10" from 1993 with 5 great cuts & 2 so-so cuts. Crude, Pagans-ish punk rock. "Salvation Army/Silly Watches/Ignored/USA/Jim Motherfucker" plus 2 more. 10" €19.50 GOLDEN BOYS "Whisky
Before Sleep/ Fool 4 You" (Nasty Product) Killer 45 by this
band of James Arthur (Fireworks, Necessary Evils) - great blues punk the
Bassholes way! 7" €5.00 GUN CLUB LAS VEGAS STORY (SFTRI) Starts great with "Walking With The Beast", another one of those typical desperate sex driven Gun club tunes and offers more good / solid tunes like "Eternally Is Here", "Stranger In Town" or "Moonlight Motel", but also includes some rather lame shit like "The Master Plan" or "My Man's Gone Now". LP €11.50 HAUNTED GEORGE "The
Devils Canyon/Graves In The Desert" (Nasty Product/Sentenza) Aka STEVE
G. PALLOW (BEGUILED/ NECESSARY EVILS) - two twisted and spooky tunes not
from this world. Insane and good! 7" €5,00 HIPBONE SLIM AND THE KNEE TREMBLERS "Have
Knees Will Tremble" (Voodoo Rhythm) Good modern rockabilly
with a slight dose of 60s Beat and Swamp Blues by Sir Bald Diddley, Bruce
Band (Headcoats, Milkshakes and many more) and John Gibbs (Kaisers, Waistcoasts).
Co-starring Holly Golightly on the great diddley-ish “What Do You
Look Like” and Mickey Hampshire also on that one and the cool Link
Wray-ish instro “Jostlin”. LP €

Time" (Sentenza) Repress of this mighty fine one! 7"
€ 5.00 DAN MELCHIOR THE COVERT STOMP: 1992-2003 (Hate Records) Damn goode blues record - half originals, half covers. I like the variety on here - you get cool blues tunes and tradiotinals in different variations of tempo and sounds. Lots of B. Childish kind of interpretations without imitating him. "Cheap Wine" is my personal fave (ya ya, I know - and it's also a song on here). LP € 11.50 MISFITS GALORE.. Now here's a good question
from my oldest friend (the only one left from lame old school days in
squaresville, S.H.): Why don't you have any MISFITS stuff in the catalog??
You bought everything you could get in your hands back in the 80s and
early 90s and now there's no single record available in the catalog??
What's wrong - don't you like them anymore?? Like I said, good question.
I loved them and probably listened a bit too often to their records and
sometimes crappy (soundwise) boots. So there I sat, drunk (it was already
late and when he comes by, we drink a lot of beer, talk nonsens (what
else..) and listen to records) and wondered, when I listened to them the
last time. I grabbed the Misfits coffin (of course I had to buy it when
it came out, although I already had every song on there in different variations..)
and put it in the CD player (yeah, I know - but sometimes it's just too
comfortable to play a CD, especially when you're drunk...). IT WAS GREAT
TO LISTEN TO THEM AGAIN. The Misfits where fun back then and they still
are. I probably won't buy any of the new stuff cause I guess it might
be too annoying, but all that early shit is just great. So, for all of
you who didn't get a hold on the essential MISFITS tunes, we gladly help
you out: MODERN LOVERS "MODERN
LOVERS" (GET BACK) excellent pre-punk classic from 1972-75!
More laid back, plus funny lyrics: Road Runner/ Astral Plane/ Old World/
Pablo Picasso/ I'm Straight/ She Cracked/ Hospital/ Girlfriend/ Modern
World/ etc.. Red vinyl. LP € 12,90 MOORAT FINGERS "Hurt
My Brain / Action Boy / Feed The Fire" (Into The Vortex) Great
debut 7" by Bremen (Germany's) Moorat Fingers - Fucking FAST, LOUD,
BRUTAL and full of HATE!!! 7" €3.90 NERVOUS EATERS “Eaterville
Vol. 1” (Penniman) This beauty comes in a gatefold sleeve
PLUS a 4 page insert with pics and tons of liners!! Here’s a part
of the info and not much to add: This compilation brings together rare
stuff –recorded between 1973 and 1975!- from studio sessions and
demos along with their official Rat singles and their fans favourite old
songs: “Degenerate” (recently included on the film soundtrack
of “Girl on 3D”) or “You Smell Like Fish”. Also
included are demos like “You´Ve Heard These Chords Before”
or “Planet Fever” on which the singer/songwriter Steve Cataldo
and co. place themselves on the crucial dividing line between the best
Stones and the Stooges: Loretta - Just Head - I’m A Degenerate*
- Get Stuffed – You Smell Like Fish* - Rock With Me - Driving To
New York* - You’ve Heard These Chords Before* - She’s Gonna
Be My Baby* - Beautiful Delilah* - On The Avenue* - Planet Fever* - After
Your Goodtimes Gone* - Interview*. *Previously unreleased 180gram LP €

EP (Wrench Records) 4 more blastin garage punkers ala Teengenerate: She's Outta Control/ (Let's go) Totally Nutzoid!/ So Sick By You/ We Don't Care!. 7" €4.50 ROOT DAMAGE (SFTRI) Very good (and nicely made) comp, featuring lottsa hotties out of Sympathy's Blues, Country, Roots and primitive Rock n Roll releases. A lot of great or good stuff and only very few dull tracks like the unlistenable girlie country shit (i.e. Kirby Grips or Darlins). Highly recommended compilation - CD and LP version are a bit different, here are the LP tracks: R.L. Burnside: Georgia Women/ Billy Childish/Dan Melchior: Length Of Pipe/ South Filthy: Hot Dog/ Chris Wilson: Dark Haired Girl/ Soledad Brothers: Shakey Puddin'/ Mr. Airplane Man: Sun Sinking Low/ Junkyard Dogs: Lightning Bar Blues/ Speedball Baby: Blackish Man/ Jack Oblivian: I'm Too Old For You/ Kirby Grips: Needless/ Reigning Sound: As Long/ Holly Golightly: Anyway You Like It/ The Blackhands: Black Girl/ Deadly Snakes: Love Undone/ Interstate Leisure Kings: Best Liquor Store/ Big Foot Chester: Harpoon Man/ Tearjerkers: Bank, Gun, Jail/ The Darlin's: Take Me Dancin?/ Frank Roach: Alabama/ Gibson Bros: Memphis Chicken/ Compulsive Gamblers: Two Thieves/ Panther Burns: Fun Mob/ Geraldine Fibbers: She's A Dog/ Dan Melchior's Broke Review: Laughing To Keep From Crying/ Robert Cage: Liza Jane/ '68 Comeback: '68/ Workdogs: Our Good Man/ Beck: Leave Me On The Moon.

Had Love/Clear Spot/Nitro/Solid Gold Hell/Murderess In A Purple Dress/Backwards
Man/Demolition Derby". CD €13.80
SOUTH FILTHY "Goin' Down The Valley/ Carry That Load" (Beast Records/Trashmondain). "Carry that Load" is a great country tune and "Goin Down The Valley" a solid traditional. For those who don't know yet, South Filthy is Msr. Jeffrey Evans, Walter Daniels, Jack Yarber and more... 7" € 4.80 SPACESHITS MISBEHAVIN'
(SFTRI) More r' n 'r than Punk and another sing-a-long LP. Their second:
"Can't Fool With Me/We know Where The Girls Are/C'mon Let's Suicide/Won't
Bring You Back/I'm In Love/Jungle Beauty/Turn Off The Radio/Piss On Your
Grave", plus 5. LP €11.30 / CD €
14.00 STACK O' LEE "Change My Plan +3" (Big Black Hole): Limited edition of 500 hand numbered & silkscreened 45s, featuring Serge and Edourd from the fantastic Scat Rag Boosters and Royal Routes, so I guess you know what this little beast sounds like - great trashy blues (punk)! 7" €4.90 SUPERPUNK A Bisserl Was Geht Immer Superpunk probably work more for the german taste as they have great lyrics which give you an extra kick. They all come out of a (northern) soul and punk direction and they turn that into their own great sound. Entdeckt durch einen Freund, der nicht müde wurde sie mir zu preisen, vor allem gegen meinen Widerstand, da ich mit Vorurteilen belastet, deutschen Bands aus Hamburg eigentlich keine Chance gebe (es sei den es spielen Amis mit...). Schande über mich, denn Superpunk sind nicht nur lustig, sondern richtig gut. Kaufen! Sell Out/ Eric Cantona Stomp/ Matula Hau Mich Raus/ Das Ist Heute Nicht Dein Tag/ Ich Bin Ein Snob/ Die Axt Im Walde/ Eine Autobahn Im Regen/ Nein Nein Nein/ Ich Kann Nicht Nein Sagen/ Guybo/ Es Kann Nicht Ganz Schlecht Sein/ Gespenster/ Heraus Zum Ersten Mal/ Der Mann Auf Der Bank/ Du Hast Es Nicht Weit Gebracht. LP €11.50 CD €11.50 SUPERSUCKERS THE SONGS ALL SOUND THE SAME (Rockin Bones) Cool looking picture disc compiling early 45s and some studio outtakes. Mostly great (= the 45s) stuff - if you missed those Singles, you should go for this: Alright, Sadletramp, Poor, Burnin up, Gravity bill, Sex & outrage, What love is; Junk, Four stroke, Girl I know, Luck, I say fuck, Second cousin, Razzmanazz. LIMITED STOCK!! Picture LP €12.50 TOUCH ME NOTS "SHELDON
MUNN" (Yakisakana) A great r''n'r duo that has a lot of the
good old 68 Comeback sound in them. Get this if you dig r'n'r the Monsieur
Jeffrey Evans way! 10" €
9.90 WILDEBEESTS "ANNIE GET YOUR GNU" (Screaming Apple)Good record starting off with the great Headcoats sounding "Your Mind" which is my absolute fave on here. And just in case you don't know I should probably tell you that ex-members of the Kaisers and Milkshakes are involved and you can definitely tell. LP€ 10.50 ANDRE WILLIAMS "Poor Mr. Santa" (naughty & nice version) (Norton) Not a real feature, but the naughty version is a fuckin' great XXX-mas song - a generic blues theme combined with the coolness of Andres' voice and the hilarious lyrics makes this an essential christmas record! 7" €5.00 WOODEN TIT "Return
to Cinder" (Hate Rec.) DON HOWLAND's hot new outfif, a trio
this time, delivering raw garagey blues like his former band the BASSHOLES
did! 10 tracks, LP € 12.50 / CD €
13.80
