Or as I like to call it, "500 Slampt Fans Can't Be Wrong!!!"
It's seven early 7" releases from Slampt, as true and honest a DIY enterprise as history has even seen. Run by two kids from the North-East of England as an arts umbrella, Slampt was known for awesome cover art and killer lo-fi records. They were like an Tyneside K Records, in kinship with New Jersey's Troubleman Records and responsible for some classic slabs.
Like the insert says, these represent the debut singles for six of the seven bands appearing. You want to hear what the dudes from Franz Ferdinand were doing in their youth? Well, there's a Yummy Fur 7" to check out. Label "owners" Pete & Rach show up with Avocado Baby and Pussycat Trash, the latter of which remains THE great under-heard riot grrrl group from the early 90s. Pete's long-running lo-fi group, Milky Wimpshake, not only had an all-time great name, but also debut here.
You should know by now; I like my punk rock recorded on a boom box and played as amateurly and heartfelt as possible. This one gets me right in my sweet spot.
