This is one of the first international compilations I'd ever purchased(among the Peace comp, MRR comp,and Cleanse the bacteria), under the advice of Andy Anderson who was working at the Record Vault on Polk Street in S.F.
It blows my mind listening to this today, just as much as it did in 1986. There are so many great songs and bands on here, that its really hard to pick favorites. I mean a comp with bands from Sweden, Brazil, and Holland on it? This was my first exposure to Dutch giants Pandemonium, and E.A.T.E.R. from Sweden, their song "abort the system"...fuck, so great. Also lots of note worthy U.S. bands such as C.O.C. (the only band I was familiar with before buying this), Justice League, etc.
This defiantly brings me back to the early days, and makes me feel old hearing the crackles and pops of this old wax... but thats part of the nostalgia. Enjoy, and please comment if you download.

  4. You weren't lying about posting an international comp. This is one of the best in my opinion. Thanx a ton for posting this one and for the link. Another friend of the lowly blogger.

  6. Did this record come with any kind of insert? I just picked up a copy and was disappointed to find nothing inside, but maybe that's just my loss???

  7. I owned this when I was hosting a hardcore radio show at UNC-Greensboro in 1986-87. These three tracks by COC were our first indication that Mike Dean was going to take over vocals for their classic ANIMOSITY EP. I wore this thing OUT!
