Panther- Master Demo c 1985 Audio Only Transfer from apparent master tape

I realize that this site leans heavily toward punk, alternative/indie, and thrash/speed/death metal… and we are lacking material from the other end of the Metal spectrum. Here’s one for all of the hair metal fans out there- a well-produced demo from the great local band Panther. I never really gave them a chance since I was already in thrash/punk land when this was released, but it’s really good!

This is a direct xfer from the tape pictured. Any song fragments are that way on the tape.

As an aside… yes. I really put a tape that dirty into the nak dragon. (shudder). And I wonder why I need to send it in for repair once a year.

Thin White Rope- Exploring the Axis Rough Mixes Audio only, from DAT xfer of low gen audiotape 1985

So here is a really special one today. Even though I have had this tape for a very long time, I want to give a special thanks to Roger for being OK with this post. If anyone has a problem with it (looking at you, my friend Lisa Fancher) please let me know and I’ll pull it. I figured that since this has been “unsurfaced” for 30+ years, we are OK to put this out there.

Small glitch in “Disney Girl”, due to 30 year old generic brand DAT tape.

Suicidal Tendencies- Ruthies Inn, Berkeley Ca. 1985 xfer from low gen audio cassette REPOST

I made a mistake yesterday- I assumed that suicidal only played Ruthie’s once. They played at least 3 times. After some detective work, we think that the suicidal show I posted yesterday as 4/18/86 is probably 2/15/85. Dan Hague already posted 4/18/86 from Chris Dodge’s collection and it is a different show. This setlist leans heavily toward the 1st LP, and someone yells “play some possessed” repeatedly at about the 33min mark. Possessed opened the 2/15/85 show, and the ST song “Possessed to Skate” was written, but it seems to have different lyrics/different name. So, 90% sure it is 2/15/85.
