Desecration (az)- Metro, Phoenix Az. 11/21/86 xfer from low gen VHS tape enhanced

Here is a incredibly rare video from Arizona’s Desecration. In 1987, these guys were pretty popular with tape traders and the Gilman crowd. I thought they would end up being pretty popular, but they released one split LP with Subverse and that was about it.
This one comes from Wayne VanDerkuil’s archive — one of the few videos in there, and the only one I have never seen anywhere.

Chris Isaak- Radisson Hotel, Sacramento Ca. 1/1/87? xfer from 8mm Master Tape

Here is another one from Laurie Vilarich’s amazing collection. I am doubtful of the date- 8mm camcorders were not super common in early 87, but that is the only Chris Isaak show at the Radisson that I can find. Camerawork is a bit shaky- I should run this through deshaker sometime- it definitely needs it.

It’s still an amazing document of Isaak with Wilsey still on guitar.

Maximum Rock N Roll Radio Show 1987 w/Short Operation Ivy Interview MRR

This is the last tape that I digitized for Gary Shurtleff this time around. It was “Robert Moody’s Thrash Thursdays”, but the first 30min of the tape was an MRR radio show. Not only that, but it cuts in with Operation Ivy in the studio, with Jesse & Lint introducing “here we go again”. I asked Gary about it, and he has no recollection about how that got on there. Gotta love happy accidents.

Rampage Radio- KUSF 90.3 FM Compilation 1987? xfer from cassette tape

On the B side of that “Attitude Adjustment soundboard from the farm taped on an official metallica master of puppets tape” is this unlabeled Rampage Radio excerpt. It has a TON of radio static that I could not fix without it sounding weird, so here you go. It is still listenable.

Note: This is different than the one I posted earlier this week

Rampage Radio- KUSF 90.3 FM Compilation 1987 xfer from master tape

My friend Gary Shurtleff reminded me (nicely) that I have a bunch of his cassettes that need to be digitized, so I dug a few out and got to work on them. The first one is a killer time capsule- Ron Quintana’s Rampage Radio show from 1987! Gary said he would stay up until 2am so he could hit “record” and then listen the next day. I lived out of range of the station, so I never got to hear the show.
Listen for uncirculated(?) live recordings of Y&T, Metallica, and others. I think the Suicidal live is from Perkins Palace 1983.
Ron, did you ever get any crap from the FCC for profanity? That was complete insanity! Love it!!

I also found a killer noise reduction plugin for Sony Sound Forge, so you won’t be hearing any more tape hiss.

Surrogate Brains- Demo Late 1980’s Audio Only

Whenever someone asks for something from my personal collection that qualifies for a Sac Music Archive post, I usually post it after getting band permission (if possible). Thanks to Alex Botkin’s request, here is Surrogate Brains’ demo from the late 80s. Steve Rogers from the band believes that this was recorded at Gilman St, back when they did demos. Some tracks were used in compilations and split 7″s.
I received this from Ess Maher(I think) back in the 80s and my copy cuts off. Do you have the complete demo?

Redrum- 4 song Demo 1987 or so xfer from band archive audio tape Sacramento Thrash Metal

This tape is a bit of a mystery. I managed the band when they got back together in 1987, and I do not remember this demo at all. In addition, the track listing on the cover does not match the tape. It does start out with Frontline (as listed), but the second song is Death in Disneyland which is not even shown in the track listing. This version of DiD is one I don’t recall hearing before- it sounds like a studio demo, but not from either of the 2 studio demos made in 1987/88. All other versions of the songs, except Death in Disneyland, appear to be from the “Power Corrupts” demo session.
Check the sweet black with red foil business card in the photo.
From Mike Parisi’s collection

EDIT: Mike let me know that this is not the Evil’s End demo, which was only CD tracks anyway. This has the Metal Massacre IX track plus Power Corrupts demo tracks.

Recorded by: Bob at Inner Ear Studios for tracks 1, 3 and 4

Herbicide- Lethal Dose Demo 1987 xfer from band demo tape Sacramento

Hey everybody. I don’t know if you saw or noticed, but my 2 copyright strikes went away so my channel is public again. If you received a ton of new post notifications from me, that’s why. Back to the one post a day cadence. from here on out.
Herbicide was a punk band out of Rancho Cordova, a suburb of Sacramento. They recorded a couple of demos and played quite a few shows in the late 80s, then broke up and disappeared. Their drummer, Scott Oakes, was the drummer in my only band back in the 80s. Scott passed away many years ago in a house fire. Tragic.
