RELEASE DATE: 8/12/2022
New vinyl editions of the three legendary Punk And Disorderly compilations originally released between 1982 and 1983. At the dawn of the eighties the first volume arrived as a fiery statement from the heart of the British punk scene. Back in the day, the glorious early punk energy was still alive and, in the meantime, transforming through a wave of new bands coming up with fresh ideas and attitudes. Thanks to a great selection of both originators and newcomers, the whole explosive energy that was at the core of punk movement is perfectly captured throughout these three landmark compilations. An incredible roster of bands such as Vice Squad, Blitz, Chaos UK, Anti-Nowhere League, Vibrators, Angelic Upstarts... all original British punk acts except the San Francisco based Dead Kennedys represented here with their seminal hit "Kill The Poor". This is fierce, loud, and raw music caught in the midst of transition between punk rock and its next "hardcore" evolution. All three volumes feature brand new track lists including bonus tracks not available in the first editions. Volume 1 features Vice Squad, Disorder, Peter And The Test Tube Babies, Red Alert, Blitz, Dead Kennedys, The Partisans, The Insane, Abrasive Wheels, Chaos UK, Outcasts, Anti-Nowhere League, The Defects, and Special Duties.

Reissue, originally released in 1980. Recorded live in Toronto on New Year's Eve 1979 and originally released the following year, Rock 'N' Roll Resurrection was Jayne County's first release after the Electric Chairs disbandment. A great live show with County fronting a raw and loud new band performing a breathtaking selection of cracking songs, among them, the phenomenal title track and some "in your face" versions of classics such as "Paranoia Paradise," "Fuck Off," and "Cream In My Jeans." One of the best live albums of the whole early punk era.

Spittle Records present a reissue of 999's The Biggest Tour In Sport, originally released in 1980. Formed in London in 1976, at the dawn of punk explosion, and still going strong to this day, 999 are one of UK's finest punk-rock bands of all-time, and certainly one of the longest-lived ones on the scene. Intended to capture the band on their extensive 1980 US tour, producer Vic Maile was flown to NYC to record a show in Long Island. Unfortunately, the tapes supplied didn't fit the recording unit and so in order to save the already scheduled release, recordings from an earlier London gig were used instead! First released in the US in November 1980, The Biggest Tour In Sport consists of six songs capturing the band's live excitement in performing several of their hits such as "Homicide", "Emergency", and "Feeling Alright with Crew".

Spittle Records present a reissue of Negazione's Little Dreamer, originally released in 1988. Punk only hit Italy in 1980, and the hardcore scene followed straight after confirming itself as one of the most active and interesting scenes in the world. Back in the day most of the bands came from the north of the country, among them: Negazione, a Turin based band which soon became one of the crucial punk-hardcore realities in Europe. Originally released by German label We Bite Records in 1988, Little Dreamer was Negazione's second album. Compared to their debut release this second effort shows a first step towards a more eclectic sound approach where thanks also to an evident growth in terms of technical skills the band's original inflamed energy opens up to a wider expressive variety of speeds and dynamics.

Spittle Records present a reissue of Negazione's 100%, originally recorded in Holland in 1990 and originally released on We Bite in the same year. 100%, their third album came as a very strong statement from a band in full power. Eight explosive, highly articulated tracks able to keep tension between the band's pure hardcore origins and a new kind of creative energy. A wider sound assault against any rigid stylism, including a distinctive taste for melody mostly expressed in the two tracks sung in Italian. Guido Sassola aka Zazzo (vocals), Roberto Farano aka Tax (guitar), Marco Mathieu (bass), Jeff Pellino (drums), an extremely cohesive unit caught in the midst of a natural evolution.

Obsessions is clearly a cult single of the era and one of their personal highlights. The band recorded the four tracks live in April 1982 and then reprocessed the take at Kindergarten Studio. The 12" was then released on the highly influential indie label, Materiali Sonori. Neon is still considered as a legend of the Italian new-wave scene, one of the leading figures of the Florence underground movement that spread between the late '70s and the early '80s.

Reissue on white vinyl. C'est Disco was the first studio album by the Italian band Rats. It was released in 1981 by Italian Records and is a record strongly inspired by the wave and dark scene of that period. In 2014 the record was reissued in a vinyl version with the addition of a bonus CD featuring the complete album plus the song "Tattoo", initially discarded from the album's track list and included in a compilation. The band's line-up featured vocalist Claudia Lloyd on vocals, and on guitar the only member present in the more famous version active in the late '80s and '90s, Wilko Zanni, who in the next album would take Claudia Lloyd's place on vocals.

Spittle Records present a reissue of Sad Lovers And Giants' Feeding The Flame, originally released in 1983. Sad Lovers And Giants second album, a brilliant atmospheric post punk record with several elements akin to Joy Division and The Chameleons. You can definitely apply the term "ethereal" to these compositions, certainly the sound is very oceanic and otherworldly melancholic, typical trademarks of the new wave renaissance. Recorded in 1983 -- and released on their own label Midnight Music -- Feeding The Flame showcases the original line up at its very best.

Spittle Records present a reissue of Thomas Leer's Contradictions, originally released in 1982. The Scottish musician, born in 1953 in Port Glasgow, is one of the most eclectic artists of the so-called minimal wave scene. Alongside German singer Claudia Brücken (vocalist of the hit-makers Propaganda) he formed Act a short-lived synthpop group signed to ZTT Records in the late '80s. Licensed by Cherry Red in 1982, the double album Contradictions is the third effort in Leer high and rising career. After the seminal debut on Industrial Records with Robert Rental -- The Bridge (1979) -- Leer ventured on a solo career with the brave synth wave of Letter From America and his personal masterpiece Contradictions. The latter is such an enigmatic piece of work, with alien melodies as in the case of the "Soul Gypsy" infectious white funk. The whole album was recorded in his living room at home onto 4-track using borrowed equipment (Korg synth, Ult Sound drum computer, guitars) from his friend Morgan Fisher. Featuring Leer's haunting, uncertain vocal -- recorded quietly, so as not to wake his girlfriend in their bedsit! -- crooning over a minimal bass pulse and discreet whines and washes of primitive Wasp synthesizer, it retains its peculiar lo-fi magic four decades on.

Spittle Records present a reissue of Wayne County & the Electric Chairs' Storm The Gates Of Heaven, originally released in 1978. Prior to his release this record was simply "labeled" as punk-rock but this one comes from the New York Dolls side of glam punk. Storm The Gates Of Heaven reveals unusual aspects of County's work: serious, reflective and profound. The monologue introducing the title track is the only part that may be considered offensive. The sound is a blend of bass, lead and rhythm guitar, drums and percussion by the versatile Electric Chairs. Embellished by Hammond organ, the title track rages against and laments the suffering caused by religious wars. "Cry Of Angels" is an eloquent, even anthemic defense of Enlightenment values on which the guitar textures and the hook around the chorus superbly complement one another. An artful blend of County's characteristic outrage and the pure pop genius that lay behind the garish accoutrements, Storm The Gates Of Heaven jams its eight tracks between two undisguised classics, the anthemic title track and a so-optimistic reading of "Tomorrow Is Another Day", not to mention a stunning cover-version of the Electric Prune's "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night".

Spittle Records present a reissue of Wayne County & the Electric Chairs' Things Your Mother Never Told You, originally released in 1979. "Jayne/Wayne County's most audacious album is also possibly among the most important albums of its age. Released in 1979 just as the new wave was teetering on the brink of some kind of bold step forward, Things Your Mother Never Told You was one of the sudden shoves which sent it sprawling into its destiny. Electro-punk starts here. Producer David Cunningham takes only a portion of the credit; in years to come he would lead the Flying Lizards into the realm of heavily stylized electronica. But County's songs match his ambitions all the way, from the harsh, grating soundscapes behind 'C3''s muttered imprecations to the soft-spoken paranoia of 'Waiting for the Marines,' and onto 'Berlin,' the song that put into words everything David Bowie (among others) tried to convey about that city via image and insinuation. It's not all electro-art smarts, of course. 'Boy With the Stolen Face' and the pouting, punishing 'Wonder Woman' are archetypal Electric Chairs -- a reminder of how, at the band's very best, they could run the Rolling Stones close in the swaggering rock & roller stakes -- and the murder mystery 'Wall City Girl' could have fallen off a forgotten volume of Nuggets or Pebbles. The title track, meanwhile, doesn't simply seethe with all the promise -- sexual, social, and societal -- which made County the superstar (s)he so very nearly was, it also lets listeners know why no one has ever truly snatched that crown away." --All Music

Bologna. At the turn of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The events of March '77 and the murder of the student Francesco Lorusso. The massacre at the Radio Alice station closed by the police after a raid (which, however, was fully broadcasted live). But also "Bologna Rock" and the Clash historical show in Piazza Maggiore. Cult label and association Harpo's Bazaar and Italian Records. Local clubs such as the Punkreas and the Small. The long running record shop Disco D'oro and the self-made fanzines... Obscure but at the same time bright years, they inevitably generated an exuberant powerful musical movement that from Bologna then spread throughout Italy. Quando I Baci Erano Fiocchi is a collection of songs written and recorded in that period, in the cellar of Via s. Vitale 13 with a 4-track cassette deck. Never released before, they see the light today after being edited, remixed and digitally remastered. The missing link between post-punk and new wave, Windopen could seriously show the dark side of a "political" nation.

Born in 1979 as Sextons, in 1980 they became Rats and in 1981 they published their classic debut C'est Disco. Set to release in 1982 on cult label Italian Records, the record didn't make it due to several diatribes with the company itself. Here's your chance to taste this precious moment in Italian wave revolution. Includes 24pp booklet.

Spit / Fire and Spittle Records present Cast A Spell, the complete work on double-CD by Magic Potion, one of the most compelling independent Italian bands coming all the way from the eternal city. An iconic underground band, a psychedelic cult spawn on the second half of the years' 80. Cast A Spell traces the history of the band from the early days to dissolution, passing through the two albums Four Wizards In Your Tea and Misplaced In Your Perfect World released respectively in 1988 and 1989, the single "I Live With The Monks" from 1987 plus unreleased stuff. Poised between the British psychedelia of the sixties (from Syd Barrett-Pink Floyd to cult group such as Open Mind, which eventually suggested the name of the band) and the '80s revival of US bands such as Dream Syndicate, the band crafted a very own songbook. Cast A Spell collects for the very first time on a double-CD the twenty-five tracks published on vinyl by the quartet, plus thirteen extra tracks including nine unreleased so far: demos, live recordings and a cover of Open Mind's "Cast A Spell" specially engraved in 2021. The double-CD is complemented by a rich booklet with the history of the band, photographs and memorabilia.

40 years after the beginnings of the Italo disco movement Milano Undiscovered leads you to discover the first ferments of the Milanese post-punk dance scene. In the early '80s future producers began to veer towards a form of dance music not yet defined, what once seemed like an experimental form, today sounds like a cornerstone for future development in the club scene of key city as Berlin, Paris, Stockholm and Amsterdam. Italo disco was first mistreated, then exalted, forgotten and rediscovered a thousand times and today it is one of the most respected genres in club music. Fred Ventura, musician and producer -- here curator of the compilation -- has selected 11 key tracks from the local scene. Get ready for such unreleased gems -- or alternate version -- of future dance penned by Modo, Atelier Folie, Fred Ventura, La Maison, 'Lectric Workers, Actor's Studio, Fogli & Riva and Maurizio Marsico. The songs featured on Milano Undiscovered were produced and mixed between 1982 and 1986 in Milan, mastered and edited by guru Alden Tyrell.
Fred Ventura's career began in 1979, first as a drummer in punk and new wave bands (An Incoherent Psyche, Le Jour Prochain), then as a singer for State Of Art, a seminal group of the Milanese scene of the early 1980s. After State Of Art he was immediately associated with the Italo disco scene with his productions and record projects. In 2008 he began collaborating with Spittle Records releasing the essential compilations Milano New Wave 1980-1983 (SPITTLE 021LP), Italia New Wave (SPITTLE 031LP), Italia Synthetica (SPITTLE 034LP), and Milano After Punk (SPITTLE 092LP), as well as the fundamental collection of the State Of Art -- Dancefloor Statements.

Life behind the Berlin Wall, before the fall. Once there was DDR (Deutsche Demokratische Republik), otherwise known as East Germany. Verging on the ruins of the Second World War, in the fog of the socialist utopia, there was a widespread scene fighting against corporations and restrictions. Die neuen Bands, that was the manifesto, a number of small alternative bands facing the efforts of the post-punk (and even post-industrial) revolution. This was happening right after the English new wave or the Neue Deutsche Welle (the western counterpart). A musical resistance, a counterculture, spreading all over the country the clandestine way. An enduring dangerous strategy that brought to life many artistic figures, way ahead of their time. Such is the case of Frank Bretschneider (Stein Im Brett, Kriminelle Tanzkapelle) still one of the most prolific glitch producers (founder of the influential imprint Raster), Ornament & Verbrechen the east-Berlin combo ran by brothers Ronald and Robert Lippok (To Rococo Rot), and Reinhard Lakomy, a true innovator in the vein of Klaus Schulze. The ghost of an era, a social turmoil that eventually had an impact on our daily routine. Features: Frank Bretschneider, Ornament & Verbrechen, Die Art, Die Vision, Die Vision Komakino, The Real Deal, Rosengarten, The Local Moon, Kriminelle Tanzkapelle, Stein Im Brett, Der Expander Des Fortschritts, Tom Terror Und Das Beil, and Reinhard Lakomy.

Searching for new languages beyond the bitter and nihilist dialect of punk, bands like Gaz Nevada, Litfiba, CCCP, Diaframma, Neon, and many others, began spreading their message all along the Italian peninsula during the early '80s and many of the members of these bands are now some of the best musicians/producers in the Italian independent music panorama (Giovanni Lindo Ferretti, Piero Pelù/Litfiba, Bisca, etc.) 16 tracks by 16 Italian underground bands from 1982-1984: bands who faded into oblivion before ever releasing anything of their own on vinyl. It should, however, be stated that if these sixteen bands had been found on an album, EP or single, they certainly would not have lowered the average quality of albums in that genre -- not even in terms of sound quality, which has actually been improved upon here (considering that the original tapes had been lying around collecting dust for at least a quarter of a century) by careful restoration. Features Frenetics, Vox Rei, The End, Les Blusons Noirs, Illogico, Blaue Reiter, Polaroid, Atelier Du Mal, Sex, Ship Of Fools, Ideal Standard, Nadja, The Age, Dark Ride, Mono, and TV Dance.

Spittle Records present a reissue of Kina's Se Ho Vinto Se Ho Perso, originally released in 1989. Se Ho Vinto Se Ho Perso, the album that took Kina into the '90s with a brand-new sound tracing the path for the new decade. Things were moving fast for the Aosta band and their latest effort from the eighties was a crucial change in signature. Often labeled as the north-Italian answer to Hüsker Dü, Kina were truly pre-dating the original emo-core revolution, with a melodic driven sound seriously attending the Washington DC underground party of bands like Rites Of Spring and Soulside. Truly a classic on its own. Includes the anthem "Questi Anni".

2022 repress. Spittle Records present a reissue of The Durutti Column's Dry, originally released in 1991 on Materiali Sonori. Durutti Column are still one of the most sought-after band of the English post-punk. Since their first album The Return Of Durutti Column (released on Factory in 1980), the guitarist, pianist and composer Vini Reilly has published a series of remarkable albums that filled the gap between new wave and ambient music. Reilly and Bruce Mitchell (who's been working with such major artists like Simply Red and Rod Stewart) represented the future of the Manchester scene moving forward from the forerunners (Joy Division, A Certain Ratio, etc.) to the new musical heroes (Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, and the likes). Materiali Sonori invited The Durutti Column to the first edition of the Greetings Festival in San Giovanni Valdarno in 1985, and build since then a steady relationship with the band. It was precisely Vini Reilly that started the record series Greetings (dedicating to the Belpaese tracks like "Florence Sunset", "San Giovanni Dawn", "For Friends In Italy"). Subsequently, Materiali Sonori dedicated the first cover of the magazine Sonora to Reilly and Mitchell (including a previously unreleased track on the magazine's compact disc). Dry is conceived as a new journey among Vini inventions, through rarefied moods and subterranean streams of sound. The fifteen songs (lasting fifty-five minutes) were recorded in Manchester in 1990. Vini sits in on guitar and piano, while Mitchell is on electronic and acoustic percussion, other instruments such as the clarinet (played by Zinnia Mitchell-Williams, Bruce's daughter), harmonica, viola and keyboards are also featured on the session. Here, once again, Durutti Column's music could be defined as half-way between melancholy rock and "progressive" new age. Licensed from Materiali Sonori.
