Lip Cream - Kill the IBM Cassette Tape (1984)

Lip Cream alongside Gauze stand out as one of the classic early Japanese punk bands that incorporated a lot of hardcore and thrash influence into their powerful music. The Kill the IBM cassette is a highly sort after acquisition that will set you back around the $300(!) mark but one well worth acquiring. Alternatively in recent years its been released as both a bootleg 7" and a bootleg 12" containing live tracks on the 12" variation. Lip Cream later went on to release a number of highly successful albums and instead of sticking to the more boppy punk sound they originally produced headed towards flat out heavy thrash that too is worthy of merit.

ZOUO - The Final Agony 7" (1983)

Whilst many can argue ZOUO were GISM impersonators, lyrically they were a lot more geared towards the satanic elements present in Bathory, whilst demonstrating they're own musical abilities in a much darker vein. The AA record label that The Final Agony was released on belonged to members of Laughin' Nose. A highly sort after 7", its generally believed its one of the harder Japanese HC records to source.

Cassettes: Pricing and Terms

I can cut you very good deals with manufacturing quality cassettes as my primary concern is covering the cost of the cassettes and the shipping. If you were looking to get 50 cassettes made at ten minutes each side (C-20) you would be charged around the $100 mark but could potentially be slightly more if your ordering from overseas due to shipping costs. All cassettes are made to the length of the recording so it doesnt matter if its 2 minutes or 60 minutes long. I also copy the A side onto the B Side so you don't need to constantly rewind the cassette.



So as a general rule the costs would run as (prices in AUD):

50 Cassettes: $100
100 Cassettes: $180
150 Cassettes: $260

This is inclusive of plastic tape covers but doesn't include tape inserts which I can also do for an extra $10 per 50 cassettes. I also have a variety of colours which I can do at no extra cost. Manufacturing these cassettes are done at my discretion, as they will be put out on my label, and as I don't charge for time involved in copying the cassettes as such I ask that for every fifty cassettes produced I take 10% to sell through my distro.

The time it takes to make these cassettes varies of course with the postal service but expected times in Australia would range from three weeks to a month after a master copy and payment has been given. Overseas buyers would be expected to receive copies within one and half to two months after a master copy and payment is given, this is due to the postal service delivery at the cheapest rates, if you prefer express postage incurring costs will apply.

Vaurio - Sortoa Ja Vainoa 7" (1983 Unreleased)

When I picked up this record I figured it was just a repress of an already existing 7", how wrong I was! Apparently this record was never released and only a handful of test pressings were floating about the place and was later pressed in 2007 with Propaganda Records and Feral Ward. Vaurio were one of the last punk bands to appear on the contentious Rock-O-Rama label and as such didn't quite receive the recognition they deserved, Finnish Hardcore of course being dominated by the likes of KAAOS, Riistetyt and Appendix. Whilst these bands concentrated predominately on fast and aggressive punk rock, Vaurio added a lot of rock & roll elements and a more upbeat 77 punk sound similar to their Finnish predecessors LAMA.

Germ Attak - Cruxshadow (2010)

Without a doubt, this LP was definitely a serious contender for the best release of 2010 in my personal opinion along side the Spectres LP and the Raw'Arse demo tape. Germ Attak have been at the forefront of the new wave of raw punk sound since they released their Canadian Concentration Camp 7" which I consider to be a modern classic in vein of Disorder and Chaos U.K. This release however exemplifies the bands musical progression over the years and contains elements of Killing Joke, Lunatic Fringe and Uproar. A pure necessity for this decade.

Rikk Agnew - All By Myself (1982)

Perhaps one of the greatest American punk guitarists to date, Rikk Agnew is well known for his work with Social Distortion, Adolescents and Christian Death but after his departure shortly after the release of "Only Theatre of Pain" he worked on his own solo album aptly titled: "All By Myself" which featured songs that were originally expected to be on the second Adolescents album but ended up being on the first D.I. LP "Ancient Artifacts." The brilliance of Agnews' song writing abilities I believe can be summed up in this release which retains elements of American Punk and Deathrock to create something truly in a class of its own.
