Adam & The Antz - part 5: Live 1979

The Retford show is an audience recording and the sound quality is good. This show I got in a CD-R trade 10 years ago as one track and I've edited it myself.  The two songs from the Swansea show were broadcast on BBC Wales television so were recorded from the television. Sound quality is good.

Adam & The Antz - part 1: Live 1978

Here begins a series of Adam & The Ants shows from 1978-1979 that I have collected. Many of these I had on cassette but elected to download them instead from Soulseek or other blogs since they were (and probably still are) easily available. Both shows were recorded from the audience and have good sound quality. The Marquee show has the better sound of the two.

Dagnasty/Descendents - 9:30 Club Washington D.C. 1986

An old friend of mine had this tape in his collection and loaned it to me for the blog. Unfortunately, sometime in the mid-1990s a can of soda pop was accidentally spilled on it. I don't know if that has affected the sound of the tape or not, though. This is an audience recording and is rough sound quality. If you are a Dagnasty or Descendents completest you'll want this. There is no exact date written on the tape but I think it is from early 1986. Has anyone got this information? I've searched the internet but did not find any info about this show (found info for a 12-20-85 show at 9:30 Club). The Descendents set is on the end of the tape and there are only the 5 songs.

Dagnasty setlist: [from cassette]
01. Never Go Back
02. I've Heard
03. Under Your Influence
04. Trying
05. Circles
06. Another Wrong
07. What Now
08. Can I Say
09. One To Two
10. My Dog's A Cat
11. Thin Line
12. Justification

Descendents setlist: [from cassette tape]
01. Descendents
02. Kabuki Girl
03. Silly Girl
04. Myage
05. I Don't Wanna Grow Up

V.A. Pass The Elixer (1987)

Like a lot of people in the 1980s me and some of my friends made a fanzine. From 1985 until 1987 we printed 10 issues. For issue 9 we made a compilation tape with 90 minutes of solid Punk. Back then, because of different influences and ideas there was a diversity of sounds. And while all these bands are rooted in Punk none of them sound the same. We made our band choices to emphasize that diversity. The most well known band here is Disorder and the most obscure is P.K.G. from Torrence California who only recorded one 5-song demo before exiting. Each band has a full page in the zine. Sound quality is very good. Most of these bands have pages here: http://www.killfromtheheart.com/

If anyone wants to have a tape copy of this compilation for postage costs I still some original covers and booklets that were printed in 1987 and I have vintage 1980s cassettes. Send an email to me.
