From my good friend Gary comes a stack of pretty obscure punk singles and EP's, actually not a "stack", I mean, like, it WOULD be if they were on vinyl, but either he found this torrent somewhere (I've never seen it on the Bay or elsewhere), or he made into a torrent himself.....I have no idea, but he sent it to me a couple days ago.....my problem is trying to figure out how to present it here, I could probably "make" a 2-CD set out of it, but I think I would rather presesnt it as a series of singles/EP's so you are free to pick and choose. So the track lists below will give you the names of both A & B sides, and EACH will have it's own download link......I think that's better than me trying to program it as a "rarities" disc and not doing a good job of it. I have to admit, most of these releases I was NOT familiar with before Gary sent them to me, as well, you may not be They come from all over the globe and in general eminate from the early 1980's, a few a bit earlier......I am WILD about this submission and will be hitting it hard the next few days, as should you.......THIS is no joke, this is a true rarity (I think so, at least), and you guys who are loyal to me, this is for YOU! Just remember to thank Gary, he's an old high school buddy of mine so we go back aways, it was great of him to submit this for us........as such, I will include as much info (year, country of origin if available) with each of these......there will be the rest of them tomorrow or so, but listen hosers, if you are a fan of punk rock that no one has ever heard of, like me, well, this will be a blessing to you......it's just sas exciting for ME as it is for anyone who downloads, because this is NEW stuff to myself, as well as you! I wish MORE OF YOU would send me stuff like this, Gary is an old pal, if more people would send me obscurities like this, I'd have the most eccentric, individualized blog on the internet.........not that it matters, I just want people to enjoy the stuff I put up, no matter from where it comes, as I look for employment (another interview Monday!)
