V/A THE MASTER TAPE – A COMPILATION LP (Affirmation / Nimrod, USA, 1982)

p1060683.JPGp1060684.JPGp1060685.JPGp1060686.JPGThis won’t be new to most, but since it’s still unavailable and kinda hard to find, I thought it might be a good idea to supply a good sounding download, until we finally see a legal reissue of this and Vol. II, the classy double album that came a year later.

Few comps meet such high standards in quality and this babe smokes from A[rticles of Faith] to Z[ero Boys]! Not one single moment of annoyance here. TOXIC REASONS, SLAMMIES, DIE KREUZEN, ARTICLES OF FAITH (not from this earth, like always), REPELLENTS, LEARNED HELPNESSNESS (who unfortunately only released this killer song!), THE F.U.’S, THE PATTERN, ZERO BOYS, DELINQUENTS and BATTERED YOUTH. No reason for me to write much here, I’m sure some of you will tell us their stories.

Download the entire LP (of which, btw, 2500 were made and sold in no time) in wonderful quality here and if there’s ever going to be a legal reissue, make sure you puy that, Bunk! Oh yes – my vinyl has like streaks of very light grey. Anybody knows whether about a colored wax pressing of this?

  2. One of my faves when it comes to compilations. Slammies 3 songs should’ve been a 7″EP. They’re just incredible. Anyone knows if Slammies released anything else? What’s more incredible is that Vol. 2 manage to hold such a high standard too considered it’s a double LP. I have to do a repost on that one.

    When I saw that you remembered to put the teddy it brought tears to my eyes.

    Danke, Fotzi – kannte den Sampler nur als relativ mies klingenden SlSk- Download. Ansonsten einfach mal viele Grüsse – und scheissenbach, meld ich mich gestern wieder an, und seh, dass Du wieder weg bist.

    Bussi!

    fantastic comp. all the bands on here are great (especially toxic reasons fucking shred!). the only one i don´t like is the pattern. does anyone know something about a band called malignant growth, that was on the master tape vol. II? did they release anything besides those 3 tx??

    According to KFTH, Malignant Growth’s only recordings are the cuts for that comp.

    I’ve just realised that the 3rd track of Die Kreuzen, listed as “Fighting”, is not that, but “Get’em”! That is… the TRUTH! haha.
    What a damn good good (not good bad) band
    These days Ive been thinking if the OSITO (teddy, bärchen) has a name. Luzibär?
    Have a nice, dalai-lama like day! ;*

    Thanks so much for making this available. I bought the Mastertape when it came out and had to sell my vinyl when I moved to the Virgin Islands. Termites eat the covers and warpage. The A.O.D “Let’s Barbeque” was sweet also.
    I havent heard that since some one stole it from my buddy that I
    loaned it to.
