HEY! Birdman! Surgeons! They're not post-punk! Well, no, but I'd cleaned
up these tracks and had nowhere else to put them. The Birdman stuff
doesn't sound half as good as the completely remastered versions found on
the recent Sub-Pop compilation - buy it, it's great. The blood splattered
Psycho Surgeons single will always be close to my heart, even if the
sentiments expressed are pure punk thrash.
The Pobestek solo material is pretty good with Rod's fantastic guitar work
shining through. It can be seen as a precursor to the Hope Is A New
Coat tracks which aren't as good as they could have been but are
entertaining at least. Kathy's vocals are amazing.
The Famous tracks are a selection from a cassette of mainly live material
that I digitised for Dermott. I've tried to EQ them a bit better - the
cassette sounded like a 3rd generation dub and they're what I consider to
be the best of their songs. And they really are pretty wonderfull.
