BLACK MARKET BABY - Senseless Offerings 1983

July was hot and accordingly I close the chapter with a hot slab, the debut of Black Market Baby from Washington D.C. on Fountain Of Youth Records and were one of the few D.C.-area hardcore bands with no ties to the Dischord label, they nonetheless came to be looked upon as an influence on many of the local bands who followed. Formed 1980 and after sone line-up changes Boyd (vocals), Scott (guitars), Mike (bass), Tommy (drums) recorded this fantastic album with twelve great songs. A couple of 7Inches followed, but unfortunately the plan to release a second album failed. They broke up in January 1988 following a farewell show. In 1990, the German label Bitzcore issued a best-of compilation called Baby Takes, which featured singles and material from the first album; it was followed in 1991 by Baby On Board, which included material from the unreleased second album as well as more from the first. Excellent hot Stuff!
