skene! records. #10 / 4 tracks / 1990
Four pressings: #1 - 1500 made, most on black, some on solid/swirly pink vinyl (I believe there are more than the frequently cited “100 made” on pink, as it shoes up on Ebay quite often), “Shoes” sleeve. Test pressings on red/purple vinyl, hand written labels, no sleeve, 5(?) made. #2 - 600 made, “Beetle” sleeve on either red or white/grey paper, back cover states 2nd pressing. + info sheet. #3/#4 - Red vinyl, new sleeve: Mainly white with a small b/w photo on left side, green band logo. Cover states “4th press” so they might have counted the black & pink versions of the first press or the red & white paper versions of the 2nd press as separate versions.
Early recordings from back when the band was still called “Sweet Children”. The songs are slightly noisier than on their other early EPs, and almost have a slight frantic Dickies touch - I almost like this sound better. Good EP. [8]
Etwas krachiger als die ersten beiden EPs, was der Musik aber keineswegs schadet. Die Songs haben durch Stimme, flottes Tempo und die netten Melodien auch ein gewisses Dickies-Feeling. Pflichtstoff für Melodycore-Fans.
