BLLLEEEEAAAUUURRRRGGHHH! The Record



1991

I've decided to launch this blog by highlighting some of the records that launched my record collection. I got ahold of my first record player at the ass end of 1992 pretty much for the sole purpose of tracking down the near deluge of music that at the time was coming out on 7". Upon turning 16 and getting my drivers license, the first thing I did was drive to Raven Records in Knoxville to buy the first records I'd bought since being a young child. I've since fallen into that shadowy world of record collecting/scavenging/hoarding, but it was the 7" single that started me down that slippery slope and it remains to this day a format that I'm particularly fond of.
First up we have BLLLEEEEAAUUURRRRGGHH!!! The Record on Slap-A-Ham, the estimable California Grind/Thrash/Scuzz/Noise label. This one was a no brainer. Beneath the title spewed across the photocopied cover was scratched:  41 Bands! 64 Songs! No fucking way! This is such an extremely ridiculous record that I loved it before I even heard it. To this day it is still one of my favorite records own. And it's on puke green marble vinyl to boot. A few familiar names here: Born Against, Anal Cunt, Assuck, Extreme Noise Terror, Meat Shits, Etc., but a lot of this was shit I'd never heard of and a lot of these bands I've not heard of since. Classic. I'm posting this here as 2 tracks- side A & B. I'm not even going to try to edit this into 64 individual tracks. Here's the Track listing:

I just picked up the music war one of this series for $1.99 someone by me sold a ton of great shape old hc grind 7" stuff. Glad to finally own this on vinyl. Had the cd version with all of them on it,but the wax is more rad.
