NOTHING SHORT OF TOTAL WAR
BLAST FIRST COMPILATION ALBUM
BLAST FIRST RECORDS 1989 UK ORIGINAL
Very rare Sonic Youth compilation album released by Blast First at the apex of the band's illustrious career (in between Daydream Nation 1988 and Goo 1990). This is the original 1989 UK pressing which features several brilliant SY songs (not found on any other record) and includes original inner sleeve featuring a photo of Sonic Youth disguised in Disney Masks (see picture above for track listing). Cover and record remain in very good condition. The ultimate gift for any Sonic Youth fan and a rare collectable that will continue to grow in value.
NOTESThis is a Blast First "complication" that's pretty heavy on the Sonic Youth content -- in addition to 3 SY tracks ("Come And Smash Me Said The Boy With The Magic Penis" & "Magic Wand", recorded in 1985 for a 1986 Peel Session, and "He's on Fire" from the Master-Dik EP), there's an exclusive Ciccone Youth outtake ("****") and a Lee Ranaldo freakout. But things don't stop there... scope out the scans of the vinyl sleeve, where the liners virtually revolve around Sonic Youth and include a great shot of them wearing Disney masks (at least I think that's them). But that's not all: Prior to Sonic Youth's opening track, there's a faux "Rock Music Report" introduction cautioning listeners about what lies ahead... Following Lee's "Scratchy Heart" at the end of the vinyl side 1 is a sample from Claude Bessy's speech at the beginning of "The Walls Have Ears" -- his line "there's no fucking culture there" repeats endlessly in a locked groove. At the end of side 2, prior to the destructive live version of "Jimi" by the Butthole Surfers is a brief snippet of an answering machine message left by Steve Shelley for Paul Smith.
