The folks from Noise Addiction (and Noise Addiction II) put this together in 1987 - just some kids from Pennsylvania trading punk tapes and making a zine who decided to make a compilation to accompany their ninth issue. But Pass The Elixer is different...because it's a flawless document of a (or at least their) time and place. DISORDER mingling with QUOD MASSACRE and MISANTHROPIC CHARITY? Lehigh Valley's FOLLOW FASHION MONKEYS, ANTHROPHOBIA and BENTONITES sharing space with MISANTHROPIC CHARITY and PRESIDENT FETCH from Copenhagen and P.K.G. from Torrance, California. Some of my favorite QUOD MASSACRE tracks, a few rippers from PATARENI...you get the idea. This is what it was all about, and these kids did it right.

Thanks for posting this. We had fun making this comp tape. The artist who did the cover was the guitarist of PKG. PKG are playing around again with a slightly different line up. I have dreamed of releasing this on 2xLP for a long time but getting permissions might probably be a hassle. I am still in touch with some of the people in most of the bands. Not the Yugo bands, though. There was a second comp tape planned titled Bullshit In A Reflecting Pool. Some more Yugo bands, Dirty Scum from Belgium, A-Priori from New Jersey, Murder Burger from England. The artwork was all done just needed a few more bands. But, never got there.
After we did this comp tape we put out a 7"ep titled What've Ya Brought Me This Time? with 4 bands from the tape comp.
We also released the President Fetch tape with lyric booklet and there was supposed to be a split 7" with President Fetch and another band, can't remember who, though, but that never got finished either.
