vvv. 006 / 12 tracks / 1983

Live sound quality is above average (but not really great). Trivia: The guy with the plastic cup on the front cover pic is Bobby Soxx.

Live comp., recorded at the Hot Klub in 1982 when the first punk wave was already over; still most of the music here is “real” punk, even though the first three tracks on the A side are new wave/wave punk (the Fort Worth Cats song is a surf instrumental). The highlights are the songs by NCM and Hugh Beaumont Experience, but the songs by Fort Worth Cats, Ejectors, Stickmen und Devices are OK, too. [7]  

Livesampler der Texas-Szene, aufgenommen 1982, als die erste Punkwelle eigentlich schon wieder vorbei war. Die Qualität der Tracks ist recht unterschiedlich; Highlight sind die Tracks von NCM und Hugh Beaumont Experience, aber auch Fort Worth Cats, Ejectors, Stickmen und Devices liefern ganz ordentliche Tracks ab. Die ersten drei Tracks auf der A-Seite gehen eher in Richtung Wavepunk, der Rest ist eigentlich “echter” Punk.

Tracks: The Doo - victim of his age / The Telefones - you really got it bad boy / The Ralphs - drug induced state / The Fort Worth Cats - raison d’etre / The Ejectors - fade with the summer // NCM - mental case / The Hugh Beaumont Experience - let’s go join the army / my country / Stickmen with Rayguns - two fist / The Devices - soldier of fortune / The Frenetics - anamation / NCM - no can do
