A long time ago since I ripped a compilation. Wow, didn’t realize how much time it actually takes. I don’t complain. I do it for fun but realize I have to do it one more time once I get a better tape deck.
Here’s a classic USHC/Punk comp. that has been on my want list like forever. I don’t know if I manage to write about every band. You get classic tunes from classic acts like F.U.’s, Articles of Faith, Die Kreuzen, Naked Raygun, Husker Du etc. Among them the F.U.’s might be the least interesting and the highlight to me is Naked Rayguns-Only in America. Total smasher! Among the less classic acts but still quite known, I know many would argue about who is classic and not, White Flag really stands out. Awesome. When it comes to the more obscure ones Rights of the Accused is on the top. The only band that don’t fits me on this superb comp is Flesh Columns.
Many of you would like to have this as a single .zip file. Sorry. I don’t do that for some reasons: 1. It would overload the server 2. Indexing on search engines gets fucked up.

Out Of Order slays on this tape! Naked Raygun kicks ass too, and Die Kruzen, the whole tape is great but those three really stand out.
But shit, how could I forget to mention Out of Order? They’re great here.
KICK ASS COMP! THANKS FOR THIS, PETER!
YOU’RE WELCOME LAWYER BOY!!
UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I was listening to this great comp on YT a coupla days ago and now i find it posted on KBD. Odd…. There must be some kind of telepathic connection…. :-D What to say about this comp? It’s very good, but i wouldn’t go as far as calling it a classic. Gross National Product are great, despite the shitty sound; No big surprises by the “big” bands and a few letdowns here and there. The rips sounds fucking great, as usual. Thanks a lot, Pete!
Maybe it’s more classic cause of the inclusion of classic bands. Can almost agree on that Chano ;). Glad you dig it. And as always I love it when you’re here commenting though I’m bad at responding.
….Nothing about our telepathic connection…. My feelings are hurt…. :-D
Ahh sorry Chano! Of course I felt the telesociopathic connections :D.
hahahaha!! :-D
The Die Kreuzen Wire cover is the bee’s knees! Thank you
Never heard of this tape before as far as I can remember, but the songs I’ve listened to so far are pretty good, but I have to say that I think the 7″ version of In a free land is superior to this version. A few bands here are brand new to me, like Nadsat Rebel, GNP & OOO. Thanks Peter.
Great post! I think this is where yr site comes into its own – its these little gems that back in the day would have had such a small circulation you couldn’t ever hope to hear em. The energy & lo-fi-ness of this is great – feels like being 19 again. So many winners on this – time to listen again. Salut…any more tapes please?
Articles Of Faith, Big Black and F.U.’s bored me to death. never really cared for Naked Raygun at all, but that “Only in America” track is indeed the best one here. highlights for me were Nadsat Rebel, White Flag and Out Of Order. in fact i liked the Out Of Order tracks so much that i just went out and got their album, never even heard of them until today. thanks a ton for the great rip! always love the big tape comp posts.
Wow! It is so awesome to hear Die Kreuzen cover Wire. I honestly never thought I would hear such a thing. I suppose that, at the time of this release, the Wire cover was just a glimpse into the sonic change Die Kreuzen would soon undergo.
