bad trip records. 300 / 2 tracks / mar 1980

RI: very bad trip. / 2000

1st pressing released March 1980, 500 or 600 made, 100 sold, the rest was kept until 1993 because the band wasn't satisfied with the B side sound. 2nd pressing didn't go beyond the test pressing stage (5 copies made) because the B side sound came out even worse. 3rd and final pressing (with a MUCH better B side mix) in fall 1980, 1000 made. Rest of the 1st pressing sold in Germany through Incognito Records in 1993. First pressing has “L 2093” and “300” and a small triangle etched in the inner grooves of side B. 3rd pressing has large triangle and “300”. A side is the same for both versi­ons. The 2000 rerelease is probably a bootleg.

An early Jeff Dahl project. A side is extremely tough and noisy punk rock with a great guitar sound; this could have been released on AmRep ten years later. B side is a little more conventional punk, still very noisy and powerful. Great re­cord; try to get the third original press with the better B side mix. [8]  

Eins der frühen Jeff-Dahl-Projekte. Die A-Seite ist fast schon visionär, lär­mender, rockiger Punk, der sich auch heute noch gut auf diversen Noiserock-Labeln machen würde; der Gitarrensound ist einfach fantastisch. Die B-Seite ist etwas konventionellerer Punk, trotzdem sehr gut & sehr derbe. Fantasti­sche Platte, man sollte allerdings darauf achten, die “richtige” Version mit dem erheblich besseren B-Seiten-Mix zu bekommen.
