ROLLERBALL – Savage Eyes 7'' 1977

Rollerball was a short-lived British studio project consisting of Alan (vocals), Mike (guitars), Alex (bass) and Pascal (drums), who shortly thereafter gained fame with the band Elton Motello and the classic track "Jet Boy, Jet Girl." They recorded this incendiary in December 1976 in Brussels and this rare piece was only released in Holland on CNR Records in January 1977. According to a later quote from guitarist Mike, the band had an extremely minimalist setup: "Rollerball was just a one off thing, with me on guitar, Alan on vocals, and two studio assistants, Alex on bass and his brother Pascal on drums." Only two songs were finalized during the 1976 session for this 7Inch. The recordings blend the stomping rhythm and raw guitar sound of late glam rock with the aggressive, fast paced energy of early Punk.

Since the original record was pressed in very limited quantities and received hardly any airplay, it is considered an absolute "Holy Grail" among collectors of Killed By Death rarities. The US label Sing Sing Records released an official reissue in 2010, but even that pressing has long been out of print and commands high prices. The band never played a gig and they even't got many radio plays. Enjoy!

V/A - Young Raw Sounds UK 1996

Lightning Records carved their name into punk history with the release of some of the most collectable punk singles to be released in the late 70's. And all these recordings here are quite special and for my taste there are no dropouts. This LP is subtitled as Vol.1 but i'd never seen Vol.2...hmmm.... maybe you have this comp and send me a copie??? Zeus Records put this pearl out in 1996 and they make this fine. To every band/song is much info inside and the vinyl was pressed in bold red in a limited edition of 1500 copies. What more can be said? You might know the bands as well and if not then you should waste no time to discover something new. I think it's always nice when some people rummage in the punk archives to find rarities or cool stuff and then releasing records like these. And then you might notice what a great time that was.

V/A - Bloodstains Across Belgium #3 1998

Last blood across Belgium with more essential punkrock blasts from the early days and this small country had a lot of good bands ready. I guess writing more about this record is superfluous like a stone in the shoe.

A long day with lots of music is coming to an end and I will finish with sixteen essential punkrock blasts from Belgium, Number 2 Bloodstains from this small country and before I talk more blah blah blah shit only the hint to Volume 1 and I guess your visit in my little world today was worth it. I'm pretty much through and will chill out the rest Sunday.
