Topic re-releases, and as I was able to find out at short notice, there are different views on this. Well, I welcome records like this and I'm also willing to buy those from interesting bands that I like and which the original is unaffordable at overpriced prices. That applies to the following record by Godhead, whose only awesome 7Inch I love and discovered this rare piece from No Plan Records at discogs. They revived this little masterpiece last year in an edition of 350 copies, with a 12-page booklet and a bonus song. Godhead was founded in spring 1980 by Paul (vocals), Bill (guitars), Steve (bass), John (drums) and they existed for about fifteen months and it was a while before this formation hit the studio and released their famous three track EP in 1981 on Bemisbrain Records. "Hardcore was really peaking during Godhead's brief existance, but we did not want to play just hard, fast songs with little-to-no-melody. Also, we were not going to get our heads shaved or otherwise be slaves to punk fashion" says Paul, and it is precisely this attitude that makes the four likeable and underlines their independence. New Lottery is a damn cool record and I think, they would have deserved an album. Rare guest appearances on compilations but these are highly recommended. TOP!!
