the damned live in hamburg. october 1977.

exactly what the headline says: the damned live in hamburg recorded on the 19th or 20th of october 1977 (see their live performance index for details). the damned in 1977 of course were rat scabies on drums, brian james on guitar, captain sensible on bass and guitar and dave vanian on vocals. and though this is a rather muffled and bad recording (probably with my old mono-recorder well hidden underneath the overcoat of my younger brother) this execution is a nasty-bibulous enerjollification of psychedeleriac punkfun. be an adept and enjoy the noise!

you are what is happening:

i fall
you take my money
neat neat neat
fan club
problem child
sick of being sick
idiot box
help
your eyes
fish
stretcher case
so messed up
new rose (fragment)

amon düül 2. eternal flashback.

sixtyseven minutes of rare, obscure and sometimes unidentifiable amon düül 2 sounds mixed into one long track for whatever reason: in 1996 captain trip released this mash-up collage of odds and ends as a free give-away and it is long since out of print. no further information was included except for the foretelling adumbration that some of this material originated from some embryonic ur-düül in 1967 while most of the rest were said to be alternate takes of classic düül sounds mixed with some re-recordings. and this is exactly what you get: no defining idea or clue but sixtyseven minute of sometimes awkward mostly great and at least interesting music. irritating versions of kanaan, between the eyes, phallus dei, some bavarian folk music and a short reminder of singvögel rückwärts. very strange indeed and not the kind of music you would use to convince and persuade newbies to love amon düül 2. but for the deadicated heartcore fan this is pure gold!

the beach boys. pet sound rehearsals. 1966.

some of you might think that the beach boys were clean, glossy and smooth: but in 1966 they were not. they were horrible, bothersome, proto-industrial and a lot of fun. before they released their eleventh album pet sounds in 1966 they executed some at least interesting noise in their rehearsal room and you can hear dolce notes gone wrong, wrong takes, wrong breaks, wrong, wrong, wrong. and false. great.

the heart of this album is about half an hour of i just wasn't made for these times featuring harpsichord, theremin, harmonica, four saxophones and brian wilson singing while directing about twenty musicians. minimalistic caterwauling discipline, a longanimous patient breakdown and a meditational freak-in. wounderful.

this album by the way is a sister in crime to the 1983 charles manson recordings live in san quentin, that you may find next door at freemusic07 and nova express.
