OPPOSE OR DECOMPOSE

 

Brilliant 1982 collection of twenty tracks from eleven Welsh acts. SHRAPNEL are likely familiar to most regular visitors - especially those of you who have been kicking around for a few years or have, (wisely) combed the annals. The two NO LABEL cuts here appear on their demo. SOLDIER DOLLS dropped a couple of notable singles in '82/'83 and YR ANHREFN will look familiar to those of you who (like me) saw a name you couldn't pronounce in a bargain bin and decided to have a gamble (mine was The Dave Goodman Sessions LP snagged from We Buy Music in Washington St. in Albuquerque), but most of the bands here flew well under the radar if the even made the radar at all. DEAD ON ARRIVAL appear to have made just four songs before morphing into FOREIGN LEGION (two of which are here), PSEUDO SADISTS were pre-REALITY ATTACK and made one of the Country Fit For Heroes comps, ARMISTICE were a notable Welsh outfit at the time and landed a few comp tracks as well. The DISCARNATE track is a mean dark stomp but no other information to offer, same with ROBBUTT @T3. And apparently CORRUPT SOCIETY existed as a band for a few weeks. Raw as fuck, duped onto a shitty dime store blank 39 years ago...why are you still reading, you should be blasting off.

DEAD ON ARRIVAL Had A 14 Track Cassette If I Can Find It I Send You A Copy Of The Tape.
