bemisbrain records. 72027 / 16 tracks / 1985

My copy has a sticker that says “limited edition album jacket”; I have never seen another cover, though.

LA/Long Beach compilation with Rhino 39 (calmer than their older stuff, still good LA punk), Vandals (two rather boring songs, not as good as their previous releases), Red Beret (decent punk/hardcore with a female singer), The Crewd (punk/hardcore with a metal edge, the singer is really annoying), Falling Idols (solid LA punk/hardcore, OK), Secret Hate (good hardcore with a rock/metal edge), Nip Drivers (fast catchy hardcore, good), and Target of Demand (fast powerful hardcore in the vein of their 12”, good). Most of the bands suffer from the slick/tame production, but the Target of Demand and Nip Drivers songs are really good. [6]  

LA/Long-Beach-Sampler mit Rhino 39 (sind etwas ruhiger geworden, trotzdem noch guter LA-Punk), Vandals (2 ziemlich flaue Songs, längst nicht so gut wie die früheren Sachen), Red Beret (ganz guter Punk/HC mit Sängerin), The Crewd (Punk/HC mit leichtem, etwas nervigem Metaltouch, v.a. der Sänger ist schlimm), Falling Idols (LA-Punk/HC, nicht schlecht), Secret Hate (ordentlicher HC mit Rock/Metaltouch), Nip Drivers (schneller & poppiger HC, gut) und Target of Demand (schneller und fetziger HC im Stil der 12”, gut). Alle Bands leiden etwas unter der zu glatten Produktion, ansonsten ein recht guter Sampler, v.a. wegen Nip Drivers und TOD.

Tracks: Rhino 39 - hurry up and waite / sleep walking / The Vandals - the dachau cabana / frog stomp / Red Beret - look behind / roller coaster ride / The Crewd - audubon baby / lady of the night // Falling Idols - defeat the purpose / cut it out / Secret Hate - bomb chic / death in the desert / Nip Drivers - rio / e.y.o.b. / Target of Demand - air head / target of demand
