V/A - Try A Dull Knife 1983

Today a request and for a short time on the Wanted-List. Try A Dull Knife is a rare C60 tape compilation from Version Sound with bands who received little attention and are not necessarily at home in Punk, with a few exceptions. This dull knife cuts with power and energy and I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of tapes because the sound sucks mostly. This is of course also due to the ripper and the quality of the recordings, but I can really get friendly with this part. White Flag is the only combo I know and made it to further releases while some just made it only to a 7Inch or only on other tapes. Interesting selection in any case and partly also takes getting used to but an important audio document of American subculture.

  1. Thank you, Billy! I had asked about this tape because of The Sins, who you might recognize from the Sudden Death comp and their Mood Music EP.
