V/A - Where Birdmen Flew Revisited Vol.3 1999

Before I go to the orthopedic surgeon, I take advantage of the free time and send a sign of life with the following fantastic compilation from 'Down Under', a small series called Where Birdmen Flew Revisited enjoyed a small guest appearance at the end of the Nineties and is very welcome in my house. On the one hand because I love the music from there, on the other hand their singles are difficult to obtain in Europe and yes, there are numerous bootlegs with well known bands, which are almost all essential and therefore many of the bands and songs are similar, but we had this theme before, and yet it's good that new or tried-and-tested comps are constantly being published from there and they always piques my interest. It's difficult to get hold of these records these days and unfortunately they always cost a lot of money, but it's worth it. Volume 1 is a killer and this record as well.

1.Heart Attack - WORLD WAR XXIV
2.Piracy - QUEEN ANNE'S REVENGE
3.Die Hard - LOCAL PRODUCT
4.My City Of Sydney - X.L. CAPRIS
5.No Music In The World Today - LAST WORDS

V/A - Nos Années Punk 1977-1980 [2002]

Last X-Mas post and it's an interesting Compilation which was released in 2002, and this Sucker compiles both sides of previous singles from renowned French combos at the heyday of fresh, rough and awesome music. Most of them are probably familiar to you because the original 7Inches are in the blog and many are also represented on other comps. You see, the sell-out continue again and again and again...... I mean, it's okay but always the same songs is a bit boring, but what do I know? This part comes with detailed informations, but unfortunately only in French. Well, apparently only intended for the local Punkrocker. Whatever, the music speaks the language that everyone understands and overall it's a good one.

3.19 - DOGS

V/A - Kylmää Joulua! 1978

My contribution on today's date, and you know this time is nothing spectacular for me, but I'm not alone on this earth, but here is something special for you: Kylmää Joulua! (A Cold Christmas!) is the Finnish Christmas greeting that was released 1978 by the essential Poko Rekords as a 12Inch as promotional use, which includes ten splendid Punk and Rock versions of traditional Christmas carols by early Finnish combos. At the time, only 500 copies of the album were pressed, and it was distributed free of charge to partners and close friends of the bands appearing on the album, among others. In 2007, a remastered CD version of the album appeared, which was printed in thousand copies and this file is this version, the original is damn rare and an expensive affair these days. The back cover said that the B-side contains the song 'Silent Night' performed by an Orchestra called "Tampere Chamber Ensemble", but in fact nothing was pressed on it. Enjoy!

2.Rudolph The Rednosed Reindeer - TEDDY & THE TIGERS
3.Soihdut Sammuu - POPEDA
4.Run Rudolph Run - VOX

V/A - East 1980

It's really terrible what's only coming out of the radio today, of course I don't need to hear it, but while my eyes are watering from cutting onions, Hardcore/Punk isn't efficient, so I just stop working in the kitchen and focus on the next slab, which isn't at the top of the British Punkrock region, although the bands all have an excellent PowerPop/Punk to offer, but apart from the Cigarettes and Half Life, the others remained largely unknown to me. Well, this big Nugget was released via Dead Good Records and has all infos and fifteen fantastic X-Mas songs you need.... a fresh and sweet sounding record... back for preparing dinner, Bon Appétit!

V/A - Bored Teenagers Vol.12 2020

Ja Ja Ja, the next fucking great Compilation is certainly nothing new for you my dear followers, but it is definitely irreplaceable for everyone who visit this theater for the first time and wondering, what the hell is that: "After a frantic year and a hard slog sorting all this out, the anticipated next volume in this highly collectable series is finally being released!" Volume twelve by the essential Bored Teenagers gift features some long lost Punkrock gems which have been undiscovered for over fourty years and you know, at which high level this grandiose series is. I don't have to tell you much about this, because everything that has appeared on this fantastic series so far remains of high quality and will be most sought after in the next damn AI years, I'm 100% sure of that and the CD version has more the chance of being your own, because the vinyl edition is, in this case, limited to 600 copies. You see, a rare piece of wax after a short time. Enough blah blah, the Bundesliga is just around the corner and I recommend every Punkrocker to look out for these records.

V/A - This Is Mod Vol.4 (Modities) 1996

I still have one for the weekend and the sound matches the setting evening sun that I am now enjoying from the balcony. Ladies & Gentlemen!, let's welcome Volume 4 of the This Is Mod series by the brilliant Anagram Records and the last I have. This Compilation feautures the rare 7Inches by these eight Modities which were published in the late Seventies/early Eighties and for some the only record. Like its predecessors, this little nugget is an absolute highlight of good songs by bands that hardly anyone knows anymore and purchasing one of these delicacies is not really cheap. You see, a real collector's item... like the original platten.

2.Curtains For You - THE ACCIDENTS

V/A - Panx Vinyl Zine 11 EP 1992

French label Panx Productions created their small Panx Vinyl Zine series at the end of the Eighties and eleven parts were released. Pressed exclusively as 7Inch, initially hand-numbered and always provided with a small booklet, bands were given the opportunity to show what they could do. Mostly unknown combos, who were only a small part in their lifetime at vinyl on these series. So a very good innovation and anyone who owns all eleven records can certainly put them all together on a CD and have a really rare and surprisingly good Compilation with excellent material, in my opinion. I only have this one but it kicks well and is affordable for just a few euros, like all the others. Now start to an interesting little journey through the world and meet likeable people who can do it too. Cheers! 🍻

2.Jehovah's Witness - BLANKS 77

V/A - Apocalypse Chaos 1982

Superb French Compilation from Chaos Productions with early and first recordings of bands that later became renowned and popular recordings, a stepping stone, so to speak. Although there are only twelve songs, they are surprisingly good and clearly show the potential of the bands and can be seen as a springboard. Very good mix from Oi! & Punk of the old days and there is nothing more to tell about it, dug up from my Harddrive. You see, it's taking a while until I post again, but life is taking me vehemently and maybe wdthtc will soon be over... I'm undecided... but I feel like I don't want to anymore... ma gugge!

V/A - Oi! In Head Punk In Heart 2017

First of all, this is a re-post that I took from Wolti's Provinzkacke blog, and since it ended up in my top ten, it's a pleasure to post this record again and this following Compilation is a collaboration between Gremlins Records/Crom Records/Tough Ain't Enough/Nation On Fire Records and featured eleven spanish Oi! bands playing Iberian classic songs and was limited to 500 copies. Each song a highlight and all excellent played. If you don't know the originals, you should take your time to look around this theater and find them out, and with a cold drink in your hand and the sound in the ears, this fucking Monday is much more bearable. Fantástico!

1.Odio A Mi Patria - ARKADA SOCIAL
2.Destruye - FRED & THE PERRYS
3.Botes De Humo - INSTINTO AGRESIVO

V/A - Halt! 2023

All right! Now, after a long time, one more selfmade Compilation is coming and there are songs on a certain topic that I don't usually do, but this time it was a need for me and it's quite possible that a second one will follow. It's about society & people, and I took thirty-seven killers which I like and think, they're fit. This manipulated society that is trapped in those systems and marches along tightly without following their own emotions and demands, that others hate because of a pimple on their forehead and let themselves be fooled every day and are numbed by the guidelines that are presented to them. Frightening & Incomprehensible this mass social control... I'm so sick of them! Certainly not just here but everywhere and I guess you know what I'm talking about, you see it every day. Anyway, this is my small contribution from the WDM Records headquarters with a lot of help by friends. Enjoy!

V/A - Compulsive Agitation EP 2023

The tenth and latest release from dutch D.I.Y. Subunderground Compulsive Agitation’s, Compulsive Agitation, is an excellent EP Compilation featuring six songs from five bands, hailing from the Netherlands as well as the UK. Edition of 400 copies on black vinyl. Well, the label should be familiar to you as it is the home base of the talented school of fuzzpunk, or in short: Ford's Fuzz Inferno whose contribution has not yet been published. This also applies to the other songs (except for Waste). Nun, this little 7Inch is a real grenade with short loud impacts that absolutely smash me into the past when Hardcore became my driving force and I was flashed by the aggressive fast sound. And once infected, it stays in your heart and you know what's good for you. With Hans & Co. you know what you're getting and all ten records aren't late bloomers or lame copies of old heroes, NO! Honest straight pissed off Hardcore with appealing words rolling over you and rousing every lame ass to participate, and to that always an informative artwork. This litle goodies comes with an insert featuring alternative front cover designs and infos about the bands.

"Overall, 'Compulsive Agitation' is a fantastic EP release that showcases the strength and diversity of the old school Do It Yourself Punk scene. Each band brings its unique sound and style, creating a compilation full of energy and attitude." (THOUGHTS WORDS ACTION - 8th June, 2023)

Since the edition is very limited, it will be difficult to get hold of a copy, I have one and if you find one, grab it! Pushes anytime, especially with back pain.
Five Killer Punk Bands! - Six Killer Punk Hits! Enjoy!

1.Protect & Serve - KRUST WORTHY
2.Everything Is Grey - WASTE
3.Reptile Brain - SCOUNDRELS
4.Sab The Hunters - KRUST WORTHY
5.A Messed Up Situation - FORD'S FUZZ INFERNO
6.Urban Disease - RHI & THE RELICS

V/A - 1984: The First Sonic World War 1984

This great Compilation is not really new in Blogland but this is my copy and all scans are within and I think, the 1984 serie by the French label New Wave Records has spawned a remarkable series of international combos over time that sooner or later made it to some notoriety. The first part consists mainly French sounds, but that changed with each additional one and bands from all over the world were asked to send their demos for the following volumes and exclusive, four comps in all, were created. Rare items these days I would say. A short review: "This French Sampler contains a wide variety of Punk styles: classical, garage, thrash, skunk (big in France), and drum-machine/synth Punk (which the French seem to have cornered the market on). Some choice thrash, and there’s lots of good stuff and a dozen more. Tres bien!" (Tim Yohannan, MRR #15 • July 1984) A little Oi! stuff is also there. I like the slab for its perfect mix of songs and the artwork is also excellent. Never boring and selectable at any time. It's getting warm today, so a little trip to the lake... music on.

1.Benefactor Of People - HUMAN BEING
2.Nucléaire Mon Ami - LES CADAVRES

V/A - Συνταγή Αντί Θανάτου 1986

Interesting Greek new wave Compilation on FM Records and I hope the translation of the songs is somewhat accurate. The Anti-Death Recipe features eight bands that gained a little notoriety in Hellas in the Eighties and some released a single or even an album. Was sent to me by a stranger a long time ago and I found the slab on the hard drive and listened to it, didn't even know what kind of stuff was on it, but here it is now. Musically, we listen to solid melodic catchy New Wave sound with nice electro vibes plus guitar power, although not every title meets my taste, but all is audible. 2013 re-released via B-Otherside in partially limited colored vinyl. Discover!

V/A - Alles Aus Hagen 1982

For a relatively small town, Hagen had a number of good bands and a versatile underground scene, some of which are still well known today and anyone who comes from this city can certainly confirm what's going on there in the early Eighties. Tonträger 58 Hagen collected some of these illustrious personalities and encouraged them to send their musical outpourings to the label. The result is an interesting Compilation that impressively reflects the Hagen spirit in a variety of sound elements, Punk, New Wave, Minimal, Experimental & Rock. The record comes with a 32-page "fanzine"-style A5 booklet which, for unknown reasons, is unfortunately not included here. But that shouldn't do any harm, because the record is still available, not cheap, and if you want more music from Hagen, a second volume was released in the same year. You see, there was something going on in this town! One post for now, maybe a second later.

V/A - Heroes Of The Night 2021

Today I would like to draw your attention to a very interesting release and since it's still available, no download is offered. "The Baby is called Heroes Of The Night! and is a fine Compilation from Reminder Records and a beautiful document of female-fronted U.K. and Irish Punk, Powerpop, New Wave, Hard Rock & Synth-Pop 45s! A selection from a dozen of the greatest and rarest femme vox 7Inches. From the Midlands and the Merseyside to the North and the Six Counties, this record shines a light on the still-undersung female pioneers and trailblazers who emerged out of the Punk & New Wave maelstrom/malestrom." All I can say: a cool record with interesting bands and informative liner notes, and best of all, there's already a second part that came out a month ago. Nice to see that from time to time such ancient treasures are unearthed for us, but also for the bands & makers and are not forgotten in the dark ocean. Buy this sucker, it's worth every damn penny.

1.No Title - THE RUSSIANS
2.Fade Away - CHEAP CINEMA
3.Tall Stories - GLASS TORPEDOES
4.I Like Motorcycles - VERMILION & THE ACES
