V/A - Year Of The Rats! 1988

Another damn cool record with massive rare stuff now: England Belongs To Me and Killed By Death and the Bloodstains series, all this compilations stand for rare & raw punkrock from the early glory days and this album as well. Released in a limited edition on black vinyl with green and black labels. Among the earliest entries into the punk reissue game, this comp has some now-standard classics and another of the original group of punk bootlegs compilations this one has become tough to find. Overall a very good LP, some of it (Urinals, Satans Rats) has since been reissued. Llygod Ffyrnig you can also likely find elsewhere. The Matt Gimmick tracks are originally Stooges tracks dating from 1970. Good luck finding a copy of this though. Some of the records comped on here are easier to find than the comp. Enjoy the following pearls:

SATANS RATS - You Make Me Sick 7'' 1978

Third & final 7Inch by this great short-lived combo named Satans Rats on DJM Records, founded in January 1977 in Evesham, Worcestershire by Paul (vocals), Steve (guitar), Roy (bass) and Olly (drums). They existed for about a year but in this time they released three great singles, some tunes were later used on renowned Compilations and all three classics were re-released exactly ten years ago via Overground Records. In 2022 an interesting album was born, What A Bunch Of Rodents, which compiles all their recordings, most of it unreleased to date. Satans Rats = catchy rockin' Punk and you will like them, I know it. Cheerio!

V/A - Punk Rock Rarities Vol.2 1996

And immediately the second and final part of the Punkrock Rarities by Anagram and the spirit of this CD is the same as the previous one. It brings us again closer to rare 7inches by lesser known or short lived bands from the British Isles, and giving them the respect they deserve. Together with Vol.1 they form an absolute glimpse of what was happening on the fringes of the big bands and the scene was anything but tired. Music that does its deserved rounds and is a perfect introduction to the UK subculture for all newcomers and dirty old freaks like me. Enjoy!
