mystic. m-745 131 / 2 tracks / 1983

There is a picture sleeve, but most copies don't have one since most of the sleeves were destroyed in a flood; a stack of original copies with sleeve resurfaced around 2009. My copy is stamped “Promotional Copy” on the A side label.

Two tracks off the Sound of Hollywood Girls compilation; Bitch is speed metal, but actually pretty good, noisy, rough and powerful, and the female singer is quite capable, too. Hellion play rather conventional mid-tempo metal/hard rock, might be OK if you're a rock fan, but not too interesting in a punk context. (Wikipedia says that this 7” was Doug Moody's revenge because both bands refused to sign contracts with Mystic, but that might be a rumor) [7]

Zwei Songs von der Sound of Hollywood Girls comp. LP, als Rache dafür, dass die beiden Bands nicht auf Mystic bleiben wollten… Bitch ist sehr brauchbarer Speedmetal, rauh, krachig, kraftvoll, mit einer ziemlich guten Sängerin. Hellion dagegen ist eher konventioneller/langweiliger Hardrock/Metal.

Tracks: Bitch - i'm in love // Hellion - nightmares
