year 1 records. 71003-2 / 22 tracks / 1996

Live at the Masque benefit Feb. 28th, 1978. Like Volume 1 this has a terrific soundboard sound quality; good punk rock by some classic bands. If you like the other Rik L Rik/F-Word releases this sounds basically the same so you’ll like them plus they cover “Hillside Strangler”. Randy from the Alleycats’ voice sounds even more annoying when drunk; with a cover of Elvis’ “Jailhouse Rock”. X don’t have their classic sound down yet, drunk and kind of boring slow punk, with the unreleased song “Heater”. The Zeros songs sound like the other Zeros stuff, maybe a little more aggressive.

Teil 2 ist weniger interessant als die anderen beiden Volumes; Zeros und F-Word sind OK, sofern man ihren Stil mag; X fallen gegenüber ihren anderen Releases ab und die Alleycats-Sängerin klingt auch ziemlich betrunken. Naja. (CG)
