existencial vacuum records. ev 06 / 25 tracks / 1993

1000 made, 200 on red vinyl; both sides of the red vinyl copies are pressed off center, especially the A side sounds pretty bad. This version has a special insert apologizing for the error. 10 test pressings with alternate sleeve.

Exhumed recordings from this old Texas band. A side is live (Forth Worth, 30 Apr / 1 May 1982), sound quality is rough but pretty good, the music is a lot more powerful and aggressive than their rare 7”. The B side has unreleased studio recordings (produced by Bob Mould!), short songs in the aggressive style of the A side, but played a lot faster - this is actually hardcore punk. Pretty rough and simple, but a lot better than the Cone Johnson EP. [7]

Ausgegrabene Aufnahmen der alten KBD-Band aus Texas. Auf der A-Seite Liveaufnahmen von 1982, krachig, aber recht gut, und die Musik ist deutlich kraftvoller und aggressiver als auf ihrer EP. Auf der B-Seite Studioaufnahmen (produziert von Bob Mould!), kurze Songs im aggressiven Stil der A-Seite, aber viel schneller gespielt… eigentlich ist das schon echter Hardcore. Ziemlich einfach und krachig, aber deutlich besser als die Cone Johnson EP.
