UK: damaged goods. damgood 247 / 24 tracks / 2006

First pressing on red/black splatter vinyl.

Finally, a legal reissue of the masterpiece. All the tracks from their EP, plus the 2 songs from Bands that could be God (in the same vein), PLUS 13 tracks from the 1982 demo (noisier, a little bit slower, but still great) - all the stuff they have ever recorded. This should feel like Christmas, and yet… it doesn't. Something is wrong. The original 7” was PERFECT. Nothing should be changed, added or removed. The new color sleeve? Hmmm… Some sub-standard bonus tracks? Hmmm… They should have reissued the 7” in its original form, and then another one with the extra stuff, with the new sleeve. But I shouldn't complain. After all these years, we finally get a legal reissue, and here I am whining about details. [10]

Endlich, die Wiederveröffentlichung des Klassikers. Alle Songs der EP, dazu die beiden Samplertracks von Bands that could be God (im gleichen Stil) und 13 Songs vom 1982er-Demo (krachiger und etwas langsamer, aber auch genial). Und trotzdem habe ich daran etwas auszusetzen… die 7” war perfekt, da braucht es kein neues Farbcover oder Bonussongs. Wieso nicht einfach die 7” im Originalformat wieder auflegen und den Rest auf eine weitere 7” packen? Aber was nörgle ich, die Platte ist trotzdem Pflicht.

Tracks: i saw it / sisters / in my room / don't need / lou's anxiety song / video prick / sick of fun / deep wound / dead babies / you're false / time to stand / pressure / training ground / deep wound / you're false / your head is in your crotch / psyched to die / sister / patriots / never let you in / adult / don't need / video prick / let's go to the mall
