Razar - Stamp Out Disco 7″
October 10th, 2006 at 6:39 am
This is a re-post from July the 20th 2006. Added more scans.
I know I know! 7inchpunk posted this awhile ago. BUT since I’m a bit picky about the sound the mp3s didn’t do it for me. There’s a huge sound difference between 128kps and 192kbps rips. The sound isn’t as full and the cymbals hurts my tinnitus ears. To make it a little bit more fun I’ve scanned the back of the sleeve and the fold out ditty. It’s 1978 and it’s from Australia so you know it rocks!
Undercover Cops. You think you’re tuff! Don’t you? You’re bacon! Oink Oink Oink!

i find that sometimes when you download a punk song, the rip adds a strange sound quality (be it good or bad) that totally reminds me of what happens when you put a record to tape. its kinda cool. (or uncool, depending on how it turns out…)

There was an exhibition on Razar at an art gallery in Brisbane, Australia in late 2004/early 2005 with memorabilia collected by their old singer Marty Burke. Related to the show was a really cool catalogue full of pictures of the band that talked about them the early Brisbane punk scene in general. It came with a CD with this 7″ on it, and the sound quality is great. See more here:

Dammit, what a perfect single. This is my favorite Australian punk record of all time, with “Stamp Out Disco” being my favorite tune from it.

This single rules, “Task Force” is awesome.

Is “Shutdown Countdown” in the same vein as these tracks? Was it released as a 7inch?

I’m pretty picky about my record ripping as well! I’m much more a fan of 256 kbps and 320kbps than I am of 192, 160, or 128k. Also, people REALLY don’t know how to rip records!

I was there and YES these guys were good but only 1 stood out. not the singer who loved KISS but the bass player who loved THE CLASH and THE PISTOLS. He went to SYDNEY and formed THE BUDDIES with a sound guy from RAZAR and played then played for the GURUS and SCREAMING TRIBESMEN and moved to the US of A. any where out ofg Brisbaneia is good.

Marty Burke. What a WANKA
SELF PROMOTIONAL EGO SPEED FREEK
ANY PUNK BAND THAT HAS A TOWN HALL PROMOTION IS A DEAD SET WANKA
HE Related to the show and was really cool of his catalogue full of pictures of himself the members of the band that talked about him in the early (non status qua time) in the Brisbane cover band punk scene.

30 years ago I played in this band. Despite the reunion show in 1988 and the probably well sledged museum piece in 2004, I do not regret it. Hell, a youth well mispent. Not sure why I even googled it tonight, but I was shocked by the response. I will agree with one comment which was that Bob was the talent in the band (damn it why did you wait so long to kick in) but Greg was a great drummer too. And for god’s sake, we just came from a time when it was good to be alive. No disrespect meant to our peers passed.
