Before I do some essential housework today, first a fantastic reissue of late seventies by Sperma, a four piece from Zurich and active from 1978 to 1980, consisted of Peter (vocals), Päde (guitars), Tommy (bass), Turi (drums). They were cheeky, snotty and inexperienced and learned to play on stage. In their short lifespan they released four 7inches on Another Swiss Label, the same genius which brought us so many of Switzerland’s early punk releases and in August 1979 came Sperma's second record, a 12Inch, with these three songs; Pigs (Schmier), No More Love (from the first recording session) and Radio. On Pigs they demand the death to everybody in a blue uniform. The amazing thing is that this song is never the fell victim to state censorship. One has to assume that they never heard the song to this day. At No More Love, the farewell of the "Peace & Love" generation is resolutely demanded and on the song Radio the Swiss radio is attacked. This is the new edition with an informative, twenty page booklet in an edition of 100 copies in clear vinyl. Forty-two years after its first release, the Berlin label Static Age released this superb record again for the first time." Awesome sounds from a brilliant era!
