V/A - Year Of The Rats! 1988

Another damn cool record with massive rare stuff now: England Belongs To Me and Killed By Death and the Bloodstains series, all this compilations stand for rare & raw punkrock from the early glory days and this album as well. Released in a limited edition on black vinyl with green and black labels. Among the earliest entries into the punk reissue game, this comp has some now-standard classics and another of the original group of punk bootlegs compilations this one has become tough to find. Overall a very good LP, some of it (Urinals, Satans Rats) has since been reissued. Llygod Ffyrnig you can also likely find elsewhere. The Matt Gimmick tracks are originally Stooges tracks dating from 1970. Good luck finding a copy of this though. Some of the records comped on here are easier to find than the comp. Enjoy the following pearls:

1.Hot Wire My Heart - CRIME
2.Frustration - CRIME
3.I'm A Bug - URINALS
4.Ack Ack Ack - URINALS
5.Sex - URINALS
6.Time Enough For Love - FUN THINGS
7.When The Birdmen Fly - FUN THINGS
8.Waiting World - NEW CHRISTS
9.Burn My Eye (Live) - RADIO BIRDMAN
10.Year Of The Rats - SATANS RATS
11.In My Love For You - SATANS RATS
12.Pseudo Punk - O-LEVEL
13.N.C.B. - LLYGOD FYRNING
14.Rag - MATT GIMMICK
