R.K.L.- Demo Master xfer from band archive cassette tape Rich Kids on LSD

Since RKL is touring Europe right now, I figured I would post this one… but don’t get too excited about it, despite the title. This appears to be a collection of unreleased average quality live tracks and studio versions of songs that appeared on official releases. I Shazam’d a couple of them and they were on that Mystic Records comp released in the late 80s.
At least the cassette artwork is cool. I assume that is Barry’s handiwork.

Junkyard- Unknown Location (San Diego?) 1989 Xfer from master VHS Juni Bravo Archive

JUNI BRAVO ARCHIVE: I bought a bunch of live VHS tapes of Ebay about 6 months ago. I bought them mainly for a Bad Religion Multicam from 1988 that was uncirculated, but I got a while box of VHS tapes. The tapes were intriguing enough for me to try to find out who Juni is- it turns out that she was a Video archivist from the mid- to late-80s based in San Diego & texas. She followed the Exploited on tour in 1988 and produced the “Anarchy in the USA” VHS tape for them. She passed away a couple of years ago and (unbeknownst to me) some guy was selling her stuff off. I decided to post the stuff that was OK to post publicly to be sure Juni got her due, and to let fans of the band see this stuff- there is some gold in here. I also NEED YOUR HELP with some of this stuff. The tapes were poorly labeled so I don’t know who some of the bands are, and I don’t know most of the venues. Any help identifying stuff is appreciated.

Primus- River Theater, Guerneville Ca 1989? Transfer from low gen video tape Les Claypool

Today was Scott Davey’s turn for a collections post, but the VHS tape I pulled to digitize turned out to be TWO and a half goddamned hours long! That is a massive file with the lossless setup, so I tried processing it TWICE with no luck. I think I need to clear some space from the RAID and try again tomorrow. Endless space issues.

So let’s do another Gabe Meline one. This is an early Primus show, and this 8min is all that was on the tape. We have the recently posted Victims Family set from this tape ID’d as 7/28/89, but Primus did not play that show, so this must be another show from around that same time frame.

Johnny’s Problem: The Chatterbox San Francisco Ca Late 80s Transfer from master videotape

After what seems like months of chaos, things are finally getting settled here. It feels nice to get organized. More consistent schedules and bonus posts coming right up!

This is from a DVD that Alfie Kulzick sent me and it is way better quality than the DVCam tapes that I have of hers. I think these DVDs are right off the master tape.

Johnny’s problem was John Abella on guitar, EJ Simpson on Bass, and Christopher Thomas on drums.

Voltage- The Chatterbox, San Francisco late 80s Master videotape-DVD Hard Rock

This one is really nice quality. Man, I wish we had access to the master tapes rather than the DVCam tapes. They were not recorded well and the audio was mastered too high. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy to have anything from the 80s in any form, but the quality difference is astounding.
From Alfie: “This is the 1st Voltage with Matt Riede on guitar and Miki on bass”
