Redrum- Rehearsal Demo 1984 Audio Only Sentinel Beast

Man, thanks to Mike Parisi for bringing this one over. This is the earliest known recording of Redrum: Members: Carlos Yniguez- Vocals Greg Williams- Guitar Mike Caboy- Bass Scott Capizzano- Drums This was recorded because Greg was leaving Redrum to join a band named Sentinel Beast. They were trying to recruit Mike Farrell to take Greg’s place on guitar, so they made these recordings to influence him to join. These are quite a bit different than the thrash redrum songs we know. More street metal than thrash, and they are GREAT. Tracks: 1. Do or Die 2. Fight for Your Life (later performed by Sentinel Beast) 3. Tonight (later performed by Sentinel Beast) 4. Death in Disneyland (later performed by the new Redrum) 5. Unknown (use it or lose it?) 6. Money Talks 7. Heart Attack Woman 8. Unknown

UK/DK: A Film About Punks and Skinheads Transfer f/Master Japanese VHS Tape Exploited Adicts Blitz

Busy day, finally getting to the first of 2 new posts today. The other one is going to be late this evening.
This Japanese version of the UK/DK movie does not seem to be up on youtube so I figured I would give it a post. If you are dying to have the tape, it’s for sale on Ebay. I’ll add a link in comments. From my collection.

Nite Owls- Ozone, San Francisco 1980s transfer from Beta Master? New Wave

This one is from Scott Davey’s collection and it is, once again, somewhat of a mystery. I transferred a tape that was also called “nite owls ozone” from 1982 back in March and it is a) from a different venue b) much worse quality than this- this one has no flaws and c) shorter than this one by about 10min. Odd.

Anyway, a nice bit of obscurity for those of you who enjoy it. EDIT: I finally found something about this band AND venue on newspapers dot com. This is a couple of guys from Translator (415/columbia records) playing covers with a pick up band.

The Feederz- KFJC, Los Altos Hills Ca Live in Studio 1984 transfer f/questionable quality audio tape

Crap, the day got away from me. Here are the 2 daily posts in rapid succession right before midnight. This was supposed to be a different post, but I think the owner of the tape would kill me if I posted it in the planned post middle of the night. This one is instead from Chris Eng’s collection and it sounded like a crappy dubbed punk tape. I was surprised at how much an EQ job rescued this one. Still not great, but the original sounded like it was recorded through a pillow.

The Gynecologists- A Goat… You Geek Demo 1984 Indianapolis Punk Gravelvoice Records GVR-003

Alright, who wants to be offended today? This demo’s cover was so offensive that I decided against using it as the image. I think it would draw a facebook ban and nobody’s got time for that. Track list also offensive- go check discogs for all that if you are curious. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.
This one was already on youtube, but I think this version sounds way better.

From Tony Philputt’s collection, generously gifted by Phil Go. There are mostly videos in this collection and the audio tapes have a ton of widely circulated, unknown gen stuff… but every once in a while you come across something like this. Or the KGSR performances at the bottom of the pic…

Barry Ward and Jonas Reinhardt- Family Shenanigans early 1980’s xfer from band archive tape RKL

Here is a late but fun one from the collections today. After I digitized Barry Ward’s MDC Zeleste tape, I noticed that there was some stuff at the end- a kid singing with acoustic guitar. Well the background is better than I could have imagined- from Barry:

That’s me and my little bro. I had an acoustic I ripped the frets off with pliers.
And the piano was me making fun of DRI songs. He says the song titles are
Ronald Reagan wants to blow up the world, cockroaches are cute, home on the range, I’m just a drunk punk ain’t no spunk.

Barry’s younger brother on this is well-known Krautrock artist Jonas Reinhardt (they have the same mother). Barry is about 20 years old, Jonas is about 7 at the time. Classic! Barry says there is more of this at the end of other tapes…

Metallica- KUSF Appearances, 1980s xfer f/unknown gen cassette Tour Manager Doug archive Station ID

It’s Tour Manager Doug Tuesday! The only TM Doug thing that I had youtube ready is this. It was on the B-side of one of his tapes. It sounds a bit sped up so I assume it is not a master.
It starts with a station ID, then a bunch of demos, live clips, etc. Then Lars chimes in at about 23min, then more Metallica hodgepodge. I have no idea if there is anything rare/unique in the music section, please let me know if you know. I am a Metallica fan but I don’t have every live song ever performed catalogged in my brain.
Lars give Mr Quintana a shout out as well.
