You should know this already, right? This is the same collection of tracks that 625 and Agipunk collaborated on back in 2002 (which was my introduction to the band) and I can assure you that listening (for the first time in ages) with 2025 ears I was no less floored than I was the first time. What's Inside: the entire first EP from 1982, the split with IMPACT from 1983, live tracks from 1982/83 and a rehearsal from 1984. What You Get: your fucking ass blown out. Seriously, this is quintessential Italian hardcore - listen to Stefano's voice crack on those early live recordings and you can fukkn feel the intensity. Listen to that first EP and wonder why people don't speak THE EU'S ARSE in the same breath as WRETCHED, INDIGESTI and IMPACT - so completely unhinged and still infectious. Some punks reissued this on cassette for their US gigs in 2014 (same year Blackwater reissued the EP) - I appreciate those punks.
