I remain pretty sad about the fate of the CD sampler/benefit compilation/scene report. There's really no reason to put the work in to compile something like this, not when Spotify playlists seem to be what a lot of folks would rather listen to. "The Philadelphia Sound" remains a really cool snapshot of where things were just north of me in my mid-20s, highlighting the bands we'd host every weekend, or trek up I-95 to go see on our days off.

various artists - The Philadelphia Sound
One of my favorite 10" releases of all time. Purchased mostly for the two early-era Paint It Black tracks, kept for the early exposure to Dave Hause (via the Curse). The Knives Out cuts also slap, and I remember very little of the Go! For The Throat songs, but, hey, six out of eight is a pretty damned good percentage.
