Only a Lad EP

I can’t remember where I got this tape, but it did lead to an early love for this band. Of all the bands I have seen live over the years (at least 100 or more), this is one of the few that I missed out on. One time in Portland, Oregon I had a chance, but flat out did not have the $$. Had to spend it listening to this tape at home that night instead. This tape has seen so many cars/players over the years, I am surprised it still works great.

This tape is still playable.

Beelzebub Mix

Beelzebub mix was the title if I remember correctly. The tape was a wonderfully generic gold labeled hunk of black plastic: Recton or some such junk. It was given to me by our combat boot wearing grunge friend Jen Sauzer.

Front 242
-Lovely Day
-Don’t Crash

Skinny Puppy
-Some selections from Rabies

There was also some Oingo Boingo and Mussolini Head kick.

All sorts of wonderful ’80’s industrial
