A little unofficial snack and I quote a fitting intro to it: "Many Canadian music fans would argue that during the punk and new wave eras, Vancouver was the home of the best Canadian bands, and this little piece of wax provides pretty compelling evidence." I think, many of you can confirm that without a doubt, because a lot of good bands came from this lively city. This underlines impressively the Last Call - Vancouver Independent Music 1977-1988 2 CD compilation on which these four tracks originally appeared, all recorded between 1977-79 and all four are quite excellent. The Furies, from 1977, were the first Vancouver punk band. The Skulls and Stiffs both feature future D.O.A. and Subhumans members. Victorian Pork (BIZ on the Last Call CD) featured members from various Vancouver bands at various times. Nice packaging and an insert with lots of great infos about the bands and the Vancouver scene. Some copies are on blue vinyl (my copy) and these are essential '77 blasts!! - Rating: ten points from ten.
1.What Do You Want Me To Be - THE FURIES
2.Fucked Up Baby - THE SKULLS
3.Fuck You - THE STIFFS
4.I Don't Give A Shit - VICTORIAN PORK
