I've been on a massive Dead Kennedys kick lately. Plastic Sugery Disasters has been in heavy rotation it seems.

The Volts ,Yes , Los Punk Rockers' LP is SO fucked up...It takes on new meaning as a Punk record.
It was , of course , a quickie cash - in ( Dazzlingly inept covers of the entire Sex Pistols LP.) like the great Exploitation LPs of The 60'S. But , even worse !!!! I say that lovingly. Gary Pig Gold said he mentioned a review I wrote of an unauthorized (Boo hoo.) reissue of teh album to John Lydon , whom , he said , was very interested in hearing it.
sORRY , i KNOW I'm here , somewhere.....My faves from the 70's- EARLY 80's Punk era (Fair enough?) include , but are'nt limited to-
The Cramps - Songs The LORD tAUGHT US.
The Real Kids (Self Titled.).
Alan Vega - Collision Drive.
Dickies - Dawn of The Dickies.
Ramones - FIRST FOUR ALBUMS (PLUS "tOO Tough To DIE", EVEN I IT CAME OUT IN '84.).
Saints "Eternally Yours''
X-RAY Spex " Germ Free Adolescence.
X - Los Angeles , Wild Gift.
Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks......
Los Punk Rockers - Never Mind The Bollocks.
Radio Birdman - Radios Appear.
Vibrators - First two albums.
Damned - FIRST LP.
Stranglers - Rattus Norvegicus , Black and White Album.
EATER - the Album
Hartbreakers - DTK , LAMF (YES , PREFERABLY THE REMIXED VERSION) , Thunders - "So Alone".
DEAD BOYS - Young Loud and Snotty.
Dictators - Every album to date ,except "Manifest Destiny" ( I like about half of it.).
Stiff Little Fingers - Inflamable Material. Produced by Mayo Thompson (Red Krayola , Pere Ubu)
REZILLOS - ALL THREE ALBUMS , TO DATE.. GO SEE 'EM , BUY THEIR SHIT.
NERVEBREAKERS - my Girlfriend is a ROCK (RAVE UP , iTALY) Hijack The Radio (Get Hip , US.) - BOTH RELEASED POSTHUMOUSLY. THE REFORMED BAND STILL PLAYS , ON OCCASION....
hubble bubble (BOTH ALBUMS).
Hammers of The Gods -
Roky Erickson and The Aliens (Self - titled or TEO , OR EVEN FIVE SYMBOLS) .
Kenny and The Kasuals -Garage Kings. (It varies. When they're on , it's Stiff Records - good .)
Ugly Ducklings - Off The Wall.
Downliners Sect - Showbiz. Plus the 45 of "Showbiz" on Raw Records , a far superior version.
Sir Douglas Quintet - Border Wave (If their Ramonesified version of The Kinks' "WHo'll be The Next in Line" DON'T GIT IT , NUTHIN' WILL.)
T Rex "Celebrate Summer". The Groover's LAST STAND.
MICK FARREN and The Deviants "SCREWED UP" - Farren delivers the 70's Punk goods , joined by a cross - section of Pink Fairies and Deviants members, plus a future Heartbreaker , Ty Styx. Larry Wallis' Punk - Psych leads are the muthahumpin' shit.
Sky Saxon , Stars New Seeds Hale Fruitarians , ORPHEUS THEATRE , , 1977. (Bootleg.). Not flat- out Rockin'. More improvsational. Fans of The Seeds and some 70's Psych Space Rock should dig it. Some of The Child Molesters were on it , and Debbie Harry is rumored to have been in the sparse audience....
The Troggs - Live , Whisky A - Go Go ,1980 OR '81(?) (BOOTLEG_ Better than the Max's Kansas ity set , but , never officially released.....which is a goddamned pity. The Troggs are tearing shit UP , just for a change.....
