new red archives. nra 18 / 12 tracks / 1990

bonus LP: nra. s 1 / 12 tracks / 1990

All copies come with a bonus promo sampler LP that contains stuff from previously released New Red LPs. About 500 copies of the promo LP were given out separately by several distribu­tors (don’t know if that one had a special cover).

Good overview of the New Red label program. First LP has unreleased tracks; although many of the songs don’t show the best of these bands there’s some good stuff by Jawbreaker, Samiam, Ultraman and Bedlam Hour. The second LP has previously released tracks, a really good selection. [7]

Bietet einen recht guten Überblick über das rapide anwachsende New-Red-Programm. Schöne Tracks von Jawbreaker, Samiam, Ultraman und Bedlam Hour, der Rest ist mehr oder weniger Stan­dard-HC. Obwohl auch die guten Bands nicht in Top-Form sind, ein ganz ordentlicher Sampler. Zudem liegt ein Promo-Sampler mit Stücken von bisher erschienenen New-Red-LPs bei; die Songauswahl ist wirklich gut, besser als die der anderen LP.
