The one had all the hallmarks of a "must buy" when I found it, tucked away on the dusty bottom shelf of a thrift store I'd never set foot in just an hour from the Canadian border.
Were there bands I'd never heard of? Check! Hailing from a place (Indonesia) I'd never been? Double check!
Was there a Carcass cover? Check! Was it "Reek of Putrefaction"? Lemme give ya a check!
Was this co-released by five or more labels? Check! Did at least one of those labels also release records by Unholy Grave or Agathocles? Mic check!
Recordings like this are a great reminder that you can find gold literally in the weirdest, most unexpected places, sorted in between an Elton John "Candle in the Wind '97" CD single and a Boxcar Willie cassette. I cannot tell you how much this made my day.
