Gasoline - S/T 7″
November 16th, 2006 at 3:33 am
This is a re-post from March the 28th 2006. Added more scans and Killer Man.
One of the best vinyl released in 1977. The sleeve is just fantastic. And just as the sleeve promise the two songs that these frog eaters delivers are fantastic too. If I have to choose one of these killer tracks I’ll go with “Radio Flic” so that’s what you’re getting here. Now go eat snails and buy some French Fries OPS! I meant Freedom Fries.
Country: France

“Radio flic/ killer man” is their second single on EGG,the first one (”Sally/electric injection”)was released earlier in 77 under the name of “Gazoline” (also with a nice sleeve) but the content is a kind of arty/experimental music which doesn’t sound punk at all, so which one is an accident??

I bought this single as a birthday gift for a heavy metal friend in 77-78. Trying to convince him about punk rock. He later told me he hated it so much he had to throw it away.

… And here I thought “killer man” was a Registrators song.

Fuck!!!!! This 7″ and especially “Killer Man” still blows me away after all these years! This is my favorite French punk 7″ of all time, hands down. Punk sounds so awesome sung in French. Unfortunately, for my ears a lot of late 70’s punk records from France don’t do much for me musically and sound mediocre. There are some true French classics, though, for me– Guilty Razors EP, 1st Dogs EP, 84 Flesh 7″, Metal Urbain, Mickeynstein 7″, Mopo Mogo 7″, and the 1st Vermines EP are at the top of the list. But that all-French KBD volume from late ‘97 was one of the worst KBD comps I ever heard (and unfortunately spent money on). Almost as bad as the all-Italian KBD comp that came out at the same time (maybe the same bootlegger did them both). The 1st Gazoline EP that came out earlier in ‘77 is just crap in comparison. Hey, I ate frog legs when I was in Paris a few years back and they were tasty. Tasted like chicken actually. And fuckin snails rule for dinner, especially with some garlic pesto on the side. “Freedom Fries”- ha ha! I actually saw some restaurants in Chicago a few years back who changed the name of french fries on their menu to freedom fries. Scary. America is so backward and reactionary sometimes. Well, a lot of times…

Egg was a cool label, they made some interesting experimental French synth-electronic releases during the 70s. It’s natural that Egg supported punk and released Gasoline.

Gasoline is fucking nuts. Classic KBD rawk and so vicious. Too bad I can’t understand what they’re sayin’. (Is that really MJ FOXXXY??)

One of the best punk singles ever. “Radio Flic” rips.

I’ll translate the songs for you one of these days, they’re printed in the sleeve of my record that is cut…
March 12th, 2007 at 10:29 am
….desperately need lyrical translation…especially; “Radio Flic”…discography and any info on GASOLINE would be appreciated…
MICHAEL J FOX in deed.

Great to hear this 7′ again! I heard it for the first time in 1980 and loved the raw sound. I have been looking for this record in along time. I think it’s one of the best punk records from 1977 with the bands from Raw Records. Though.

THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!
Killer Man is a great song no doubt about it but Radio Flic takes the prize.That guitar solo is so awful I love it and what a great toon as well.The Best thing that I have never heard before on this sight so far(I have heard most of the stuff that you have posted under 1977 and there is not a bad thing whatsoever under that year,ESPECAILLY THE USERS which I think is the best thing that came out oi that year.See my comments in the Users Post)Thsi and Metal Urbain are the best things that I have heard from France and i am sure there is more so fill me in if I am missing out on anything anyone.I have found some cool shit on this sight ever since I have found it and will keep gladly looking
