The sleeves are on loan from Break My Face. I’ve never been a big Social Distortion fan but 1945 have been hunting me for years and years. I love that song. The Stones cover Under My Thumb is not for me. Boring. Playpen is ok but again nothing compared to 1945. Lacks the catchiness and of course it drags on far too long. This is actually the only record I like with them.

If anyone can make a good 300dpi scan of the above sleeve or the blue one let me know.

This is a repost from August the 22nd 2006. Added more scans, re-recorded and uploaded all the tracks. This time the tracks are from the original release and not the reissue. Sounds a bit beefier.

Ok, Strange Reaction posted this some time ago but since the files are 128kbps encoded the hihat and cymbals are just too nasty to my ears. And this 7inch is just to damned great to not be posted with a high quality rip.

Amazing in your face obnoxious LA punk that blows away their first 7inch by miles in case you’ve heard that one and got dissapointed(Note from Tony: This is their first.). Raw yet melodic. By the way did they bring The Drones-Further Temptations with them into the studio to have that as a reference during production? The beginning of This Generation… often misleads me into that I’m going to hear The Drones.

One funny thing is that “…vacation” actually sounds like me singing backing vocals. A little bit nasal and childish.

Even sloppier then their first 7inch posted here some months ago. Trashier recording too. Guess they’ve spent all their money on drugs so they couldn’t afford the studio time. And I don’t mind. No bass here which actually ads an extra inch to their desperate sound. Personally I’m pretty tired of distorted vocals so they get a minus for that. And guys WHERE’S THE LYRIC SHEET? A highly recommended record that is already sold out so here’s your chance to hear it.

Can’t go wrong with them Dangerhouse records. Here’s the first release featuring the Randoms. ABCD don’t do much to me. Pretty dull and too long Dolls/Thunderish boring rock n roll. But the b-side! BUT THE B-SIDE my friends!! Mia madre! What a super duper punk rock of a song. Randoms had K.K. Barret from the Screamers on drums, John Doe from X on bass and Pat Garrett, later found in Black Randy And The Metrosquad and also one of the founders of Dangerhouse, on guitar and vocals.

From Break My Face:
“He recorded the other side, “Let’s Get Rid Of New York” in different rooms of his Hollywood house on four track. I remember watching Pat cut the vocals in the kitchen, and having to go home and change clothes because I pissed in my pants from laughing so hard.”

From Gothenburg. The second 7-inch from Attentat is a 3-song masterpiece with some fantastic drums, sounding like corrugated board-boxes!
