KILLED BY FOREIGN JUNK

What's the best record featured on the 'Killed By Death' series? Tapeworm, Le Peste or something else from one of those 'All American Punk, No Foreign Junk' volumes? ...wrong!

If you ask me nothing touches the sublime punk 'n' roll swagger of Saturday Night by Johnny Palermo. By rights it shouldn't really be anywhere near a 'Killed By Death' comp. Penned by muso songwriters Robert and Rene Vlaeyen and actually a top 20 hit in the Belgian charts. Pretty much breaks all the rules really.

Lots of these around obviously and long thought by me to be only released in Belgium, but then this turns up...


So it actually made it across the border to Holland courtesy of the ever optimistic people at CNR Records. A nice 'alt' picture sleeve too. So what did CNR do with them all? Must have filed it away in the 'let's not bother with this after all' pile next to the Rollerball. Sold for around £70 on eBay last week (more than 3 times your average Belgian pressing).

AIRSHIP

Just added a whole page to the website dedicated to Airship, the band who gave us the pseudo-punk classic Get Out, Take Your Mother With You.

Includes a few rare photos, audio and info which I pulled together from various band members over the last 3 years.

THE VACANTS ON CD

Guy Greenhough was kind enough to send me a copy of The Vacants CD re-issue a couple of days ago which uses the artwork from the rare German cassette release. If you don't have one of the original vinyl LP's, then you can't go wrong with this for only £8 direct from Detour Records. Needless to say it's a fantastic album.

Does anyone out there have the hyper-rare Gallery Of Dolls single by Guy's post-Vacants project Mouth To Mouth? Guy has a CDR of an 'alt' version (same backing track but with a low in the mix guide vocal). It would be nice to hear the proper versions.
