Vex - Demo, 12" ep + Live shows

Add caption

Vex were from London and were apart of the Anarcho-Punk scene in the early 1980s. Their music was more influenced, though, by Killing Joke than Crass. They released one 12" ep on the fightback label in 1985 and had one song on the We don't Want Your fucking Law compilation LP (available here: http://ya-cant-go-home.blogspot.com/2009/03/va-we-dont-want-your-fucking-law.html) which was also released on fightback in 1985. That song, rushing to Hide, is available here as a bonus on the 12" ep. The demo and the live shows all have unreleased tracks. Both live shows are very good audience recordings with the Electric Ballroom show being the better of the two.

Demo 1983:
01. It's No Crime
02. Pain
03. Pressure

Sanctuary ep  1985:
01. Sanctuary

Johnny Moped - Roxy, London 4-02-77

This show was recorded as part of the legendary The Roxy, London WC2 compilation album at the place where the Punk Rock thing found a permanent home for a while which really helped to get things rolling. Track 18 here is the version that appears on that album and the in-between song banter heard on the album before the song can be heard in context within the second set. This was recorded through the soundboard and is great sound quality. Gotta wonder why this whole show has never been released before especially when a couple (Buzzcocks, X Ray Spex, Adverts (?))other recordings from the same show have been.
