S.P.K.* - Dokument III0 1979 - 1983 - 08-Jun-08 11:05 PM
I had waited 25 years to hear "No More", and had never met anyone in my area (nyc) that had seen nor heard it. It's definitely more 'punk', I'd say very much like The Panics Gulcher 45, glorious in all its ineptitude!
If you listen with headphones, you can hear some audible noise where the 2nd single is a vinyl transfer, but this is a relatively minor complaint.
The Sinan fotos are a blast, total cynicism!!!
Unfortunately, the selection of live material for those who have been diligently persistant in tracking down the sporadic releases from Sinan, Mr Revell & assorted others over the past 2 plus decades could've been been a bit more esoteric. Live at The Crypt was widely distributed by Nigel Ayers throughout the eighties. Additionally, although Brickworks is on what has over the years become one of the most widely diseminated underground 'boot' videos ever, Despair, this LP sounds as if it is from a different source tape than the VHS. Unfortunately, however, this one is a bit more muddy. A couple of years ago I had transferred my 25 year old VHS to DVDR and stripped out the Wav using Adobe Audition to filter out the hiss and distortion, perhaps if there was an additional hour or so put into this LP it would've made the sound just completely fuller across the spectrum.
I would've preferred to hear more of the Al's Bar and Brixton Ace 1983 shows, with the still unreleased compositions Die Elektrischen Vorspiele, Hopi Burial, and Haiti in lieu of the relatively common Last Attempt Fresh Sounds cassette.
Looking past these slight discrepancies, I guess we'll have to wait for Volume 2, let's just hope it isn't another 25 years.
