The Ramones - Street Fighting Men

this is one of those boots that i always meant to do myself.you remember how over the last few years the ramones back catalogue was rereleased on cd with extra tracks etc?well me being the completist nerd that i am had to go and buy the cds again.well after that i wished that the record companies would release these extras as a compilation or something.then i thought about doing it myself and promptly forgot.then about a year ago someone gave me this cd-r collection you see here before you today and theyve done what i originally wanted to do.all those demos,single versions,soundtrack versions,original mixes, rare b-sides etc all collected and packed together for your enjoyment.at least i think its all of them i havent taken the cds down and gone through them all but i reckon it must be.anyway as i sit here typing this im listening to a song called 'stares in this town' which came with 'pleasent dreams' which i must say is possibly one of my favourite albums ever.anyway thats not that important,what is important is that you listen,listen again a little bit louder,enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!

The Ramones - 914 Sessions

good morning listeners.well as the weather here in london has returned to its normal crappy self i thought id post some ramones to try and shake off those 'crap weather blues'.

Before the Ramones hit it big (OK, they were never as big as the Sex Pistols, but hey, they're the Ramones!) with their self-titled debut album in 1976, there was this little nugget flying around. Recorded on September 19, 1975 at 914 Studios, Blauvelt, New York, Judy's In The Basement was released as a 10-inch EP by Hit & Run Records, and made in East Berlin. The liner notes also state that the songs were produced by Tommy Erdelyi who as we all know was actually their drummer tommy!anyway thats not really important.what is important is that you promise to play this loud,sing along with all the tunes,enjoy it and then leave a comment.thanks!

p.s thanks to http://www.bigozine2.com for some of the info here.

Discharge - Society's Victims

Discharge formed in stoke-on-trent in 1977.they quickly hit upon their own distinctive style,a style that was to launch a thousand and one imitators, a style that saw them stripping their abrasive version of punk back to its most simplistic, primal essence.and in doing so they quite probably changed the face and course of the genre for all time.in fact given the huge number of metal bands that also cite Discharge as a major influence,it could be argued that they helped shape not only punk but thrash metal too,indeed extreme music of all shapes and sizes.this mammoth 80 track set covers everything from their 'realities of war' e.p from 1980 to 2002s 'shooting up the world' album.the 3rd cd also includes live tracks recorded in 1983 and 2004 and also some 2004 re-recordings of older tracks.some tracks included are 'protest and survive', 'free speech for the dumb', 'possibility of lifes destruction' and one of my alltime faves 'aint no feeble bastard'.
this is a brilliant collection for all fans of hardcore punk and deserves a place in your homes.anyway now its over to you to play it loud,pogo and slam dance when you have the house to yourself,enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!

Naz Nomad and the Nightmares - Give daddy the knife cindy

continuing with a damned sort of vibe we have another spin off from the group.here is what wikipedia had to say about them.
"Naz Nomad and The Nightmares released one album entitled "Give Daddy The Knife, Cindy" in 1984. The album was packaged to look like the re-issue of a 1967 soundtrack album to a (fictitious) low budget American horror film. A copyright notice on the front cover claims the film was "Copyright 1967 American Screen Destiny Pictures", and credits are given for the film's stars, director and producer.
The album itself features covers of songs by garage rock and psychedelic acts who had influenced the Damned, plus two original numbers in the same style. Each member of the band took on pseudonyms different from those used in The Damned for the project."

another band i had the pleasure of seeing live when they supported the damned at the old 'town and country club' in london probably around 1993.anyway a great cd and one for you all to listen to,enjoy and then leave a comment on.thanks!

The Phantom Chords - Unreleased album

the following info is from http://www.wikipedia.org/ ."Following the 1989 breakup of The Damned, Vanian, guitarist Roman Jugg and bassist Bryn Merrick formed the Phantom Chords with Brendan Moon (guitar) and Clyde Dempsey (drums). In 1990, the debut single by the band ("Johnny remember me", a cover of a Geoff Goddard song) was released in the UK.
However, although an 11-track album (including "Johnny Remember Me") was written, and Polydor planned to release it, this did not happen, and only two one-sided acetates of it exist."

this was a great band who i had the pleasure of seeing live at the borderline in london in about 1994ish and a great gig it was.they played a lot of their original stuff and if memory serves me correctly a damned cover or two.thanks to garychching at Always Searching For Music for his recent tarantino related post that got me listening to the band again and got me to dig this out from the muebles archives.so now its time for you all to listen,enjoy and leave a comment.thanks!

p.s ive also included the 'b-sides' from the 12" johnny remember me for you all to enjoy!
