   I actually posted this one a long time ago but was never very happy with the way the mp3s sounded since it came from a vinyl to cassette copy. It will be great to have some good sounding versions. Both of their LPs after this 7″ are collected on one CD that I think is still being produced.

   Totally underated band. There never seems to be any interest in this AWESOME 7″ on ebay. Don’t know why? I’m more than happy to own two copies of this!!

   Ok, sorry for the double post Malfeitor. But I did a search at Dressed For The H Bomb before the post but nothing came up. Anyway here you have the mp3s directly from vinyl and in 192kpb.
   
   Anyone know how many copies that where pressed of this 7inch?

   I guess 1000 copies (that’s what my collector-instinct tells me). Any other guesses?

   A brilliant record - way better than the follow-ups, thinks me. Indeed a miracle and another perfect example for rock’n ‘roll injustice that this babe hasn’t gotten more recognition yet. Posts like this may help though. Makes one melanchholically contemplate about the days when you could just order records from bands directly after you had read the newest MRR or FLIPSIDE and 2 or 3 weeks later you’d haveone more pearl on your turntable. And nobody had the slightest idea about how things would change …….

   Roger that Eric. Or for example when a distributor down in Texas wanted 50 copies of our old bans first release and I asked if it was ok to pick out records from their catalog to trade with. They said ok. And I start looking hmm Koro 8 songs on that 7inch have to be good. And here’s Rebel Truth 7inch lot’s of songs on that one too. And here’s a band called Mecht Mench cool! Ok have to have one. I still remember the day when that big package arrived and I sat down to listen to all the stuff. I knew it’s going to be good so it was no suprise. That’s how it was back then he he ahhhh nostalgia.

   And I remember very well when I got that RAPED TEENAGERS 7″ from Per (Protes Bengt) and how it made me flip around in my room (and it still does. You should allow somebody to post a guest-entry oon RAPED TEENAGERS here)! And our bands, my unknown friend, even nearly played together at the same festival in 87 in Thalwil, Switzerland. Now if that ain’t a sign!

   Ha ha ha what the fuck :D! Hmm I knew we where supposed to get down to Switzerland but our van was in such a bad shape so we couldn’t make it. But I can’t remember what bans that where supposed to play at the festival. I knew I was pissed cause there where some bands I wanted to see.
   
   I meet Per Thunell from time to time nowadays. So may I say hello from you? Erich and more?
   
   7inchpunk.com allready posted our EP so I don’t know. Maybe some unreleased stuff.

   Yeah, say Per hello from me (Erich the megawimp from Fear Of God), and if you happen to run into the singer of ROVSVETT (forget his name) and CRUDE S.S.’ guitarist, please do the same. Will think of some more of my old pen pals from Sweden, if you need something to do this summer ….

    7 inch punk posted that Raped Teenagers EP right after I took the time to rip it for my website. I was bummed, its hard for us English only speaking lot to read those song titles and it would have been nice to not have to do it. Great record though. By the way, this Rhythm Pigs sounds a lot better than the one I put up.

    Ha ha ha yeah the back of the sleeve was done by my dear friend TV Eye // Drummer and the front(ouch) was done by me. Great looking sleeve! Hmmm or maybe not ha ha.

    I haven’t actually heard Fear Of God! Maybe cause it was in the vein of that super fast roaring shit that was coming up that I didn’t like. Ala Filthy Christians, Heresy, Napalm Death?
    
    Jerker is the name of the Rovsvett singer. Haven’t talked to him for ages. I check out their website from time to time though:www.rovsvett.com.

    Thanks for the Rovsvett site!
    And now you inspired me to make a wish: Please write something about the 2nd best swedish 7″ ever - DODEN! I sold my copy for a very good price some years ago, but ever regret it. The 7″ cover of theirs could easily compare to the artistic quality of yours, haha. And the music, welll, the music - the b-side was so beyond. Per once translated some to me when we met 20 years ago and he couldn’t believe his ears …..

    A bit off topic, I know, but that’s what I’m tending to be after a good bottle of Merlot.

14. The Flakes // Drummer Says:
    July 30th, 2006 at 2:00 pm

    Yeah the Doden 7inch. Long time since I listened to it. I never bought it back in the days. But remeber how sick and hilarious it was. Don’t know if Packe aka the TV Eye // Drummer is sitting on a copy of it.
    
    mmm Merlot! bring me some!

    Maybe one day we will be able to digitize wine ….. Until then, I’m having one more glas of my favourite summer-wine, it’s Fetzer’s Merlot, 2003. Yeah, it’s a pop-wine, I know, but I really really dig it when it’s hot and you serve it at the correct 17-18 degrees celsius. Cheers, P.!

16. The Flakes // Drummer Says:

    Time to start a blog about drinking Merlot and posting punk records I guess ;). Pop wine you say. Sounds like it would suit me since I’m a pop geek.

    I saw these guys open a show at the On Broadway in
    SF around ‘85-’86. Only caught like 3 songs, but
    they were really good. They played under Christ on
    Parade, D.I., and Agent Orange. Great show.

    to San Francisco in the mid-80’s by way of El Paso and were signed to as one of the three bands on the Mordam Record distributors house label. As a follow-up to their 1984 hardcore 7″ (An American Activity, Unclean Records, out of print, can be found here via Killed by Death Records), this exceeded my expectations, taking the band into a wholly different, perhaps several different directions at one time and showed increasing prowess on their instruments. Although the band never really developed their

    CHEETAH CHROME MOTHERFUCKERS / I REFUSE IT!- Permanent Scar Split LP (Children of the Revolution Records, UK, 1985).  ”Fuck Yeah!” If you are going to burn a disk,  I recommend adding the following to the end: Rhythm Pigs - An American Activity E.P. 7″ (A tape was made for me with the Rhythm Pigs EP at the end as great “filler.” It was complementary somehow.)
