Jerry Harrison - 1981 - The Red and the Black (US)
Jerry Harrison - 1981 - The Red and the Black (US)
.
Jerry Harrison (born Jeremiah Griffin Harrison, 21 February 1949, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is an American songwriter, musician and producer. He was the keyboardist and guitarist for the influential New Wave group Talking Heads and an original member of The Modern Lovers.
Harrison played with Jonathan Richman in The Modern Lovers when he was an architectural student at Harvard University. Harrison was introduced to Richman by mutual friend and journalist Danny Fields, and the pair bonded over their shared love of the Velvet Underground. He joined the Modern Lovers in early 1971, playing on their debut album in 1972 (not released until 1976), and leaving in February 1974 when Richman wished to perform his songs more quietly.
Subsequent to his work with The Modern Lovers, Harrison joined Talking Heads; the latter band already had a single out when Harrison left the Modern Lovers to join them.
Harrison's solo albums include The Red and the Black, Casual Gods, and Walk on Water.
After the 1991 break-up of Talking Heads, Harrison turned to producing and worked on successful albums by such bands as Violent Femmes, The Von Bondies, General Public, Live, Crash Test Dummies, The Verve Pipe, Rusted Root, The Bogmen, Black 47, Of A Revolution, No Doubt and most recently The Black and White Years, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Bamboo Shoots. He was recently confirmed as the producer of the forthcoming debut album by The Gracious Few.

Grim Klone - 1999 - Plain Brown Wrapper (US)
Grim Klone - 1999 - Plain Brown Wrapper (US)
.
The Klones formed in Cherry Hill, New Jersey (a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). We played in my parent's garage and were truly a "garage band." Cherry Hill was and is a funny place with an interesting community. We definitely did not fit in. We would play really loud and usually a neighbor or two would come over to see what the fuss was all about. I lived on a small street so we all knew each other so luckily no one ever called the cops. Juan and I had been friends since Jr. High School. I have known Spam since kindergarten. Bentley was a friend of Juan's from where he worked (a mall in Greater South Jersey). We all had a common love of rock music of various types. We needed a niche and punk seemed like a good idea, since you really didn't have to be that good to play it. In general people hated us. They thought we played too loud and our music wasn't that good. We were rough, but we had a good sound that matured fast.
My bandmates are "Dr. Juan" (guitar, John McPartland, Jr.), Bentley (bass, Billy Bennett), and "Spam" (drums, Samuel "Buddy" Dranoff a.k.a "Noah Vale"). There are many players on the CD including "Mad Dog Pierre" (drums, Pierre DiPilla) who is currently whereabouts unknown. I sang, "Major" Matt Grim. It was all done for fun, illicitness, alcohol and chicks. We had lots of fun and alcohol, but few chicks. We have released 3 singles. The first single was bootlegged on "Killed By Death 10" on Redrum Records.
We all are great friends keeping the Klone dream alive. Guitar Johnny (guitar, Johnny Sturdivant) plays on three tracks: "Blond Bitch, Black Root", "Punk of Today" and "Blank Space". He plays the axe like nobodies business. Thanks to "Eddie Coitus" too (inspiration all tracks, Hal Capner).
So there is a brief history of the band. It ain't sayin' much but it sure is a** kicking musik!

Korps, The - 1978 - Hello World! LP (US)
.
"The Worst Band In The World" was the headline in Sounds Magazine on March 10, 1979. They were describing The Korps and their new LP, HELLO WORLD. Ouch! But then the text continued, "The worst band in the world make an album of superlative chic." The reviewer, Dave McCullough, went on to give the LP five out of a possible five stars--the highest possible rating. How could a widely read, respected, mainstream magazine describe the Korps as the worst band in the world? How could they turn around and praise their 1978 album in terms so lofty it seemed that HELLO WORLD might take a place in the pantheon of most overrated records of all time? Did this make any sense? What was it all about? Why am I asking you? The reason people were so gaga about the Korps (pronounced "core") was that they had actually recorded a blazing hot rock album. This brilliantly packaged Gulcher reissue contains the original 16 tracks and four outtakes from HELLO WORLD, the 1977 Ken Kaiser solo 45, and a final bonus 1979 cut by The Kennes. Add 'em up--23 slices of prime number weirdness! The sound is crisp, clean, strong, and loud. Tossed in the mix are the Slickee Boys' Kim Kane, the amazing vocals of Martha Hull, a 10-page booklet featuring incisive song analyses by Ken Kaiser, and a slew of unpublished photos. All combine to give the album a spontaneous zeitgeist of manic energy and the unabashed enthusiasm of ignorant youth. HELLO WORLD has a great sound and is fun to listen to. The songs are short, catchy sing-a-long refrains. "We Are The Only Real People" kicks off this raw, distorted roller coaster ride. "Winner By Elimination," "Designs On You," and "Mad At The World" are ready-made pop classics. Martha Hull's vocal brilliance is undeniable--hear her moving, preternaturally beautiful voice on "(I Wanna) Burnout." One of the themes which permeates every track is a sort of giggling, in-joke-infested insanity. Check out "Don't Get Fresh With Me" and "I Went Downtown, To See My Gal, She Wasn't There--So I Left." It's obvious that these guys had fun making this record! Kenne Highland and Kenny Kaiser met during the recording of the Afrika Korps MUSIC TO KILL BY album in 1977. That LP, reissued on CD in 2001 (Gulcher 405), was picked by Julie Burchill as the best album of the year in New Musical Express. One year earlier Kenne Highland had already commenced leaving his footprints on the face of posterity with the proto-punk legends the Gizmos. Together, the Korps duo had absorbed the best of Iggy & The Stooges, the Ramones, the Dictators, Moe and those earlier Stooges, Kiss, Alice Cooper, the Who, and all the weird, wild, and wonderful stuff that they could find. They digested it all down to its barebones essence, then regurgitated the entire mix onto a pizza pie of bright blue vinyl. That was HELLO WORLD! The Korps were together for just one year, but Highland and Kaiser would work together for the rest of the 70s and the first half of the 80s. Kenne Highland remains world-renowned, notorious as one the few true wildman geniuses of all time. Both Kennes have gigged extensively in and around their homebase of Boston, Massachusetts, and performed on innumerable records, tapes and CDs. HELLO WORLD was one of the high points in the recording careers of both Kennes. Now is your chance to hear for yourself what all the fuss was about. You have my personal guarantee that you will love this CD, and I oughta know!

Crass - 1981 - Our Wedding Flexi 7'' (UK)
.
Our Wedding has quite a history. CRASS, which was often criticized and ignored for lacking a sense of humor, hoodwinked Loving magazine into including a postal coupon for the flexi in its May, 1981 issue. The scam made the front page of New Musical Express (13 June, 1981) and was covered in many of the daily papers, as well.
The song is the final track on CRASS's Penis Envy LP, though it is not listed.
Read more about this "pure unadulterated shit" in a show leaflet produced by CRASS.
Take a look at another record put out by "Creative Recording and Sound Services" called Merry Crassmas.

Band was forced to change their name rather quickly for obvious reasons, which explains all the copies with Tragics stickers. Stock vinyl copies were later packaged in alternate sleeves.

Circus Mort was a post-punk band from New York City. Formed in 1979, the band included future Swans leader Michael Gira on vocals, guitarist Rick Oller, bassist Dan Braun, Josh Braun on keyboards and Angelo Pudignano on drums. Jonathan Kane, also of the Swans, would become the third drummer for the group. The group recorded only one LP, a self-titled effort on their own Labor imprint label, before disbanding in 1981.

Sector 27 - 1980 - Sector 27 (UK)
.
After splitting up Tom Robinson Band in the end of 1979 Tom formed a new band Sector 27 with Joe Burt. The line was: Tom Robinson (vocals, guitar), Joe Burt (bass), Stevie B. (guitar), Derek Quinton (drums). The first gig was as soon 11 January 1980 in Liverpool.
When Tom Robinson signed to EMI it was a five records deal. Under that deal Sector 27 recorded it's first LP to EMI, but EMI didn't like the material. In June 1980 EMI said that Tom is now free from the contract, give him the master and said he can do whatever he want with it. It didn't take long to find a new label. Small label Panic Record releases a single (Not Ready) from that EMI material.
Maybe expectations after TRB where too high, music a little bit different and no hits with four single, so Tom quit the band in October 1981 and started a solo career.

Wayne County And The Electric Chairs - 1979 - Things Your Mother Never Told You (UK-US)
Wayne County And The Electric Chairs - 1979 - Things Your Mother Never Told You (UK-US)
.
Jayne/Wayne County's most audacious album is also, though it's not something said every day, among the most important albums of its age. Released in 1979 just as the new wave was teetering on the brink of some kind of bold step forward, Things Your Mother Never Told You was one of the sudden shoves which sent it sprawling into its destiny. Electro-punk starts here. Producer David Cunningham takes only a portion of the credit; in years to come he would lead the Flying Lizards into the realm of heavily stylized electronica and even scored a few hits for his pains. But County's songs match his ambitions all the way, from the harsh, grating soundscapes behind "C3"'s muttered imprecations to the soft-spoken paranoia of "Waiting for the Marines," and onto "Berlin," the song that put into words everything David Bowie (among others) tried to convey about that city via image and insinuation. It's not all electro-art smarts, of course. "Boy With the Stolen Face" and the pouting, punishing "Wonder Woman" are archetypal Electric Chairs -- a reminder of how, at the band's very best, they could run the Rolling Stones close in the swaggering rock & roller stakes -- and the murder mystery "Wall City Girl" could have fallen off a forgotten volume of Nuggets or Pebbles. The title track, meanwhile, doesn't simply seethe with all the promise -- sexual, social, and societal -- which made County the superstar (s)he so very nearly was, it also lets listeners know why no one has ever truly snatched that crown away. The history of rock is lousy with artists who've threatened to fill listeners in on all the things their mothers never told them. But County is the only one who actually came out and did it.

Dishrags - 1997 - Love-Hate (CAD)
Dishrags - 1997 - Love-Hate (CAD)
.
When the Dishrags formed in Victoria, British Columbia, in 1977, they were like the Runaways without Kim Fowley's behind the scenes machinations: three teenage girls -- singer and guitarist Jade Blade, bassist Dale Powers, and drummer Scout -- devoted to the Ramones and the Clash and creating their own short, sharp shocks. Moving to the more punk-friendly Vancouver scene (where bands like D.O.A and the Pointed Sticks were already defining the sound of western Canada's new wave) in 1978, the Dishrags made their debut on the now-legendary Vancouver Complication anthology. If they had never made another recording, the Dishrags would remain beloved in punk-fanboy circles for the track "I Don't Love You." 103 seconds long and built on an insistent, scratchy guitar riff and a positively crazed drum part played primarily on the ride cymbal, "I Don't Love You" is as clangorous and primitive as U.K. second-wavers like the Slits or the Desperate Bicycles, but it also features an instant-classic pure pop chorus that would do the Buzzcocks or the Undertones proud. The Dishrags followed that up with a slightly more polished three-track EP, "Past Is Past," and following a lineup change -- Powers being replaced by second guitarist Sue MacGillivray and bassist Kim Henriksen -- the band traveled to London to record the EP Death in the Family. Produced by Chris Spedding and featuring a more traditional punk-pop sound akin to the Adverts' first album, Death in the Family was insistently tuneful and clever. The wistful title track seemed to have actual hit single potential, while "Love/Hate" explored a darker post-punk sound along the lines of Siouxsie & the Banshees. Though RCA's U.K. imprint released the EP, it disappeared almost immediately, and the Dishrags broke up. Over a decade and a half later, the Canadian reissue label Other People's Music gathered the complete recordings by the Dishrags -- the two tracks recorded for the Vancouver Complication sessions, including the previously unreleased "Bullshit," the single, the EP, and ten demos and live tracks including covers of Lou Reed's "Vicious," the Ramones' "I Don't Wanna Walk Around with You," and the Clash's "Janie Jones," alongside previously unheard Dishrags originals. This is a textbook example of how to do a punk-era reissue properly.

The real name of this band is simply 'Q', but as this name is not too distinctive for a music band, for some commercial reason the word 'Grupo' (Group) was added to the 'Q' on the front sleeve. However, we can read just 'Q' on the back sleeve (as a logo) and record labels.
