Legal reissue compilation of 5 classic Connecticut 7”s, this was a benefit release for the Anthrax club in Norwalk: CIA - god, guns and guts, Lost Generation - never work, Violent Children - s/t, Vatican Commandos - just a frisbee, Reflex from Pain - black and white. Great if you missed the EPs. [9]

Geniale (legale!) Zusammenstellung von 5 raren Connecticut-EPs, eine Benefiz-Platte für den legendären Anthrax-Club in Norwalk. Mit dabei CIA, Lost Generation, Vatican Commandos, Violent Children und Reflex from Pain - die Creme de la Creme der CT-Scene; intelligenter, kraftvoller und nie überholt wirkender Hardcore. Leider hat diese LP eine noch kleinere Auflage als die Original-EPs, so daß es fast sinnvoller ist, sich nach denen umzusehen…

Tracks: CIA - who cares / death / hazard / commie control / love & war / no thrills / Lost Generation - silent strangers / mind control / lsd / never work / Violent Children - peer pressure / the smell / live free or die / warren the thief // Vatican Commandos - gravity / do what you want to / let down again / (we’re) tipping cows / talk to me / Reflex from Pain - rednecks / generic life / hangover / media control / chemicals / holy pictures // Violent Children - split scene / new pride / culture sucks / hilton
