V/A - Raw & Rare British Punk #4 1998

Today we close another little interesting series with Volume 4, the whole thing is called Raw And Rare British Punk and released as Bootleg, of course I think, via a label called A-Trax Records. The detectives prove not a bad taste and dug out rare treasures from the UK underground life, and I walk on, the pleasant weather warms my mind and pushes me forward, internally already focused on tomorrow's final of the EM 2020, which was a lot of joy (although England was extremely lucky with the blind referee, but that's the way it is). It's really amazing how quickly four weeks go by. You see, life is way too short for any shitty phases you shouldn't nibble on for too long. Howsoever, I'm talking too much bla bla... the series is over, all volumes in the blog, enjoy the sixteen classics & weekend and do something useful.

V/A - Raw & Rare British Punk #1 1997

Raw And Rare British Punk was a little serie of four compilations which came out end of the 90s on Raw Records, I think as bootlegs, but am not sure. Anyway, the idea is bring more rare UK punk smashers among the people and if I compare the Bloodstains and the numerous other records with rare UK punk so is in my opinion the potential of early GB Punk far from over. Let's start with # 1 and we find old friends which are already available here on the blog (Jerks, Pretty Boyd Floyd) and new stuff which I heard for the first time (Bee Bee Cee, Duggie Briggs Band). The title of the series is a bit irritating because it is far away from "Raw" Punk, it's more good ole '77 stuff but which makes it no less interesting. Well, somehow the shit has to be baptized. Safe is: very good song selection and gives me pleasure. Others will follow in this theater, good night!
