Recorded in 1981 for $550, this Southern California punk compilation (featuring one of the earliest performances of
Redd Kross, here as the pre-lawsuit Red Cross) has been known to command prices in excess of $100 for a good vinyl copy. Well-known and obscure bands are represented side by side --
Social Distortion,
.45 Grave and
Christian Death rub shoulders with
100 Flowers (the serious side of punk comedians
the Urinals),
Secret Hate and
Conservatives, amongst others. As a quick profile of the Los Angeles, Long Beach and Orange County scene circa 1981, this collection is hard to beat.
