touch & go rekords. tgr two - krtf 04 / 2 tracks / 1980

200 made. Reissued on Cold Days LP/CD and the At The Speed of Twisted Thought CD. I think there is no lyric sheet or other inserts. I found this on Ebay: “I helped put the record out. Printed the sleeves while taking a print class at Lansing Community College, and if you’re wondering why I spelled “records” with a “k”, well, I ran out of “c”s on the sheet of press type I was using”. 15 copies were destroyed/warped while placed on a heat vent after the band got the records from the pressing plant (see jansrooms.com).

Early mid-west hardcore, loud, angry and simple, surprisingly good if you keep in mind that this is one of the first hardcore records ever; better than the first Necros 7”, in any case. The historical value is greater than the actual musical one, though. [7]

Ganz früher, noch etwas holpriger Midwest-HC, der aber schon so ziemlich alle Elemente der späteren HC-Welle aufweist. Zwar nicht besonders ausgefeilt, dafür aber wütend, laut und rotzig; ordentlich. Die Ebay-Preise sind aber - ebenso wie bei der ersten Necros 7” - unangemessen, was die Musik betrifft.
