touch & go. t&g lp #3 / 10 tracks / 1983

RI: 1988, 1991

(7”) no label. ks-101 / 8 tracks / 1990 (bootleg)

 + lyric sheet with all LP pressings. #1 - Green cover, cover and labels have the label’s Maumee, OH, address, labels are “dirty green”. #2 - Reissue with purple cover. #3 - Reissue with original green cover color but Chicago label address, labels are bright green like the cover. #4 - (German?) boot 7” has only 8 songs (’Nothing’ and ’I’ll survive’ are missing) and poor sound quality. At least 200 made (possibly more, or a repress), numbered inside the sleeve, on pink and green vinyl. + lyric sheet. Vocalist John Brannon later in Laughing Hyenas and Easy Action.

I like this even better than the EP, the tighter production makes the music even more powerful and aggressive. Incredible voice, too. Another hardcore classic. [10]  

Klassischer 83er-HC, fantastische Gitarre mit viel Power und ein Sänger mit einer der schönsten Reibeisen-Stimmen der Punkgeschichte. Das Ganze endet nicht in Gegröhle und Gehämmere; die Songs haben Wiedererkennungswert und sind allesamt Hits; keine Ausfälle. Braucht man.

Tracks: tied down / hypocrite / evacuate / said and done / nothing // your mistake / live your life / friend or foe / dead stop / i’ll survive
