More missing UK stuffs to come - nothing ultra-obscure though.Yet.
Reading this review and your thoughts that it sounds dated for 1986, I think you should have taken into account that it was recorded in 1984 and shelved a good while before release. ;)
Chroming Rose “Pressure” LP found! :D

Now that you mention it, that does sound familiar. Still, those 2 particular songs probably sounded dated already in1982 :lol:
Not that there's anything wrong with with 'dated' per se (I'm pretty dated myself) but they're also the weakest moments of the album imho.

I'm really curious to hear if someone else shared my obsession with the song "Incubus" that was featured on the Metal Inferno comp?

Edit:
I like this LP and that song a bunch but I really think the full on punk/oi LP "False Gestures for a Devious Public" they did right before this was the absolute best they did and one of the best UK82 punk LPs. Its a great mix of Oi, Motorhead and 79-81 era stuff by The Damned. Really great band all around though. Still very good live.

Is Tysondog post NWOBHM? I always thought that Shoot to Kill 12" ep and the LP Crimes of Insanity were pretty under rated

Well that certainly got me curious, but after finally finding some clips I was a bit underwhelmed...



"Cranium" was pretty cool, the rest a bit too ...off?

IMO the 12” EP and the LP I mentioned are way better and more consistent than the first LP

Not bad thrasher that ARBITRATER. Picked it up about 10 years ago reasonably cheaply iirc.

This and their 2nd "hyper-rar" album were re-released on a double CD package a few years back, so no need to sell your kidneys in order to acquire it.
Remember kids, only high priced rarities are true...

DaN, regarding missing insert/innersleeve feature, the later was not available, or you weren't able to scan it yet?

Hm.. the hi-res insert is there. Check again!

(..and no, I know I use to joke about this, but this time it WAS there all along)


EDIT: Wait! Did you mean the innersleeve? No, I didn't scan it since it's rarely missing - it's mostly the actual insert that's the problem in these cases.
