Geza X turned the knobs and MODERN WARFARE were just about to find their own, unique sound with the first release! The A-side smokes, is the same as on the more popular 2nd 7″, just a little slower. Dude, “Delivered” is a monster!
Can you believe Peter KBD has sold this cause “it sucks”?

Can’t understand how anyone could like the Flesheaters or the Urinals, and not be blown away by Bemi’s lyrics and amazing tunes.
The guitar on this record is similar to what Geza did for Holiday in Cambodia!!

What’s more interesting (and frustrating) to me is the stuff we recorded that didn’t make it to vinyl:
The demo we made for Geza with Peter Kemster or Hemster. He was the guy with the rehearsal space near Wilson High School. He recorded it live to eight track and it included all the songs we recorded with Geza (more on that) plus, I think, Steve’s song “You Set Fireâ€, and possibly “Runâ€.
Geza. We also began recording a Talking Heads influenced song with a B-52ish surf/spy guitar riff called “Be Preparedâ€. Remember, he had you do a double track lead break and recorded one of your lines at half-speed so it got a really cool, cartoony sound when played back at normal speed. I don’t think we got past scratch vocals on this one. I remember at least playing “Run†in his studio, but I don’t recall if the machine was running.
Remember the first recording we made with Randy? It was originally intended as a demo for the “California Local†show on KNAC, so it must have had at least two or three more songs. I think that we again recorded “Runâ€, and a fast, Germsy punk song that Steve and I co-wrote called “International Pityâ€. There may have been one more. Not sure.
The lost Simi Valley session. Sluggish cover of “7+7 Is†by Love. Moral? Never redo something when the original recording, production, and performance were absolutely brilliant! I always felt that was the first proper punk song.
Our great, lost classic “Empty Universe†showing a new direction and featuring a really cool ambient lead line by you as well as the T-bat on tambourine. Asshole engineers bunged the basic tracks beyond repair.
