sst. 070 / 33 tracks / 1985

Before all the rip-off reissues on SST, this was actually one that made a LOT of sense. A great collection of classic SST 7“s in their entirety; great music, great value, I mean, look at what you’re getting: Black Flag’s first three 7“s on SST (Nervous Breakdown, Six Pack, TV Party), Meat Puppet’s debut EP, the Overkill 7“, Minutemen - paranoid time, the two Hüsker Dü 7“s on SST (Eight Miles High, Makes no Sense at all), and the Würm 7“. You just have to own this if you don’t own the 7“s already. [10]

Bevor SST die Archive plünderte und den Markt mit schwachmatischen Reissues in allen möglichen Formaten und Farben überschwemmte, gab es diese extrem sinnvolle Zusammenstellung der frühen SST-Singles. So gut wie jede einzelne Single ist ein Klassiker für sich, alles zusammen auf einer CD bedeutet Pflicht für alle, die nicht schon das Vinyl besitzen.
