REALLY RED - VINYL NEW STRINGS FOR OLD PUPPETS 3 [VINYL]

Popis - NEW STRINGS FOR OLD PUPPETS 3 [VINYL]:
Really Red formed the backbone of Houston's underground from the early punk era clear through '80s hc. Like The Dicks in Austin, they directly challenged an insanely violent police department at no small risk to their own lives. Their sound itself incorporated art and post-punk elements, with a musical and lyrical depth on par with bands like Mission Of Burma, Wire, or Dead Kennedys. Here in one place are all the highly sought-after Really Red 7-inches, plus more from the early days that has never been released in any form until now. The LP kicks off with the KBD cult classic 'Modern Needs' and the even rarer 'Crowd Control' singles, followed by an unlikely punk cover of Petula Clark's 'Downtown.' Finally seeing the light for the first time is 'Little Death,' the song Jello wanted for the 1981 Alternative Tentacles compilation 'Let Them Eat Jellybeans' that only survived on a cassette he found in his vaults. Then it's on to the hardcore era and the 'New Strings For Old Puppets' EP itself, before a final rewind to the live songs originally released as the 'Despise Moral Majority' official bootleg EP. The sound is dramatically improved, and it ain't a muddy bootleg anymore! Remastered by Jello Biafra.
