WELCOME TO VENICE
ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS OF THIS IMPORTANT PUNK COMP.
1985
FIRST RELEASE BY SUICIDAL RECORDS
Welcome to Venice was the first record released on Suicidal Records in 1985.[1] The record company was started by Suicidal Tendencies frontman Mike Muir and bassist Louiche Mayorga.
It was during the first year of the bands four year recording hiatus, Suicidal was currently banned from playing L.A. shows due to an incident at a 1984 Perkins Palace show where their audience tore out the first 10 rows making it impossible for promoters to obtain crowd insurance if Suicidal Tendencies were on the bill.[2]
Mike Muir was now interested in producing as well as starting the Suicidal label.[3][4] The 1985 Welcome To Venice had only two sister albums,1986 Beowülf's first self-titled LP and the 1987 debut "No Mercy" album "Widespread Bloodshed, love runs red" which was the first time Mike Muir sang for No Mercy and was Suicidal Records last release till the label was resurrected in 1997.
The re-forming record company had it's first release in 10 years with the (split) "Friends & Family." [5][6] Welcome to Venice was only released on vinyl and cassette, never to be digitized to compact disc due to the fact that the original masters were lost in a fire.[7]
To this day it is one of the most sought after recordings of that era and is considered to be a collectors Item. [edit]Bands
Welcome to Venice features local Venice bands Suicidal Tendencies, Los Cycos, Beowülf, No Mercy and Excel. It was also initially to include Suicidal's homies Neighborhood Watch only due to a disagreement over rent at a house Mike Muir shared with band members John Flitcraft and Dave Hutchinson they were never included on the comp.
Mike Muir's vocals can be heard on the Suicidal Tendencies cut "Look Up...(The Boys are Back) and the Los Cycos track "It's Not Easy."[8] In 1989 Suicidal Tendencies re-recorded "It's Not Easy" for their 1989 release "Controlled By Hatred/Feel Like Shit... DejaVu" album.[9]
The other Los Cycos track "A Little Each Day" which never made it to the album, was re-recorded for the 1987 Suicidal Tendencies release "Join the Army" and again on "Still Cyco After All These Years" released in 93. In 2000 it resurfaced on the FNG compilation and a fourth time on 2008s (split) album Lights...Camera...Revolution!/Still Cyco After All These Years.[10] .............THIS INFO WAS TAKEN FROM WIKIPEDIA
