THE VALVES - It Don't Mean Nothing At All 7'' 1979

"...The Valves are vital and undiluted amid the rock'n'roll fallout." (Sounds 11.11.78) - The Valves were one of the early punk groups from Edinburgh, Scotland. The band, chronicled in Henrik Poulsen's book 77: The Year of Punk and New Wave, featured Dave Robertson as Dee Robot on vocals, G. Dair/Teddy Dair aka Gordon Dair on drums, Gordon Scott or Pada on bass guitar and Ronnie Mackinnon on guitar. The band was originally called Angel Easy and were a pub rock group. They released three singles and then broke up in 1979, with most of the members quitting the music business. Both songs are catchy as hell and the last sign of life from this superb pub-punk band, released on Albion Records. Represented on numerous compilations, worth mentioning: Bloodstains Across the UK, Kilt By Death and England Belongs To Me # 4 (coming soon).

V/A - England Belongs To Me #4 1998

Last part of this fine series and this compilation came out in a much less limited number (300 copies), but still kept the focus on the Queen's land. In the vein of the glorious Killed By Death, Bloodstains, Powerpearls or Back To The Front sampler this record is a Killer!!! with tons of rare material from the early punk days in Great Britain. This LP is a Japanese release so Discogs said and megarare. You could probably not find some of the original records for reasonable prices. Well, I can only say: a great selection of tracks, hit after hit, Essential!!!

V/A - Bad Teeth #4: UK & Irish Punk Bands 1977-1982

Before I switch to SGE against Cologne today the last volume of Bad Teeth and before you ask 'Where's # 2?', don't exist. Again generated by Hyped To Death with Punk/Powerpop bands V-Z. The rip was improved a little by me, because the original CD scratches at the beginning what you can hear on song # 4 and I placed one more rare piece by the Vektors at the end of the compilation. One more little hint, Zeppo & The Zepp Zepps is a Swedish band. Enough blah blah, enjoy the music and look forward, like me, to hopefully more H2D issues in this theatre. Don't miss Volume 1+3 and complete your collection.

INCEST BROTHERS - Ljuset Igen 7'' 2022

Current 7Inch by the Incest Brothers from Stockholm, with a new song on the A-side and on the flip is a peppered cover version of the most famous Valves song “For Adolf's Only”. The first hundred copies came in blood red vinyl, the rest in black, and this little goodie was released via Bollmora Rekords. Really cool that this band is still active, originally formed in 1977, and still have passion in making good music which this burning wheel clearly underlines. Powerful & lovely!

- Great Thx to Fredrik -

V/A - Bloodstains Across Scotland 2003

When the Bloodstains series had its hype in the mid Nineties they were posted on a lot of blogs and I've sucked quite a few too and there were some selfmade cuts by people that didn't come out on vinyl and this compilation is one of them. I went to the trouble of revising the Scottish version again, created a nice back cover and now present it to you and of course a big thx goes to whoever had the idea twenty years ago, should you see this feel honored. Now enjoy this fine music and the weekend!
