SST - The Blasting Concept vol.1 & vol.2


 
Ok, these are the first two SST compilations that crossed my way back in the days. "Listen to this artifact. Check out this turntable education away from media outlets, and let these thinkers and performers bring you another alternative to monitor. This isn't a vanity pressing. Black Flag, Saccharine Trust, Minutemen, Meat Puppets, Overkill, Wurm, Stains and Husker Du have carved and trampled into territory on the edge of human existing social conditions." - from the vol.1 liner-notes.

 
Well, vol.1 is still pretty much punk-inspired and combines some classics like Minutemen's "Paranoid Chant", Saccharine Trust's "A Human Certainty" or Black Flag's "Nervous Breakdown" - among 11 other tunes. Vol.2 is a bit different. But the versions of Minutemen's uncensored cover of "Ain't Talking About Love" (Van Halen) or DC3's "Theme From An Imaginary Western" (Jack Bruce) together with Gone's "Watch That Tractor" and Overkill's "Over The Edge" are really worth it !
Get them here:
SST - The Blasting Concept vol.1 (1983)
SST - The Blasting Concept vol.2 (1990)
