Various Artists– "Springtime In Belsen" - (Sadist Records – SIB 001) 1998





Like some time-warped anti-matter west-end Juke Box musical,this insults on every level.For example The Yodler Killers ,from Switzerland, has the one and only Dr Josef Mengele on drums.....this is a little known fact about the original 'Angel Of Death' himself.
Luckily I like my Punk Rock irreverent,beyond Stupid,and played by a bunch of musically incompetent politically incorrect continental European burks....;don't we all? 
This is the factor that made the Stranglers stand out from the otherwise 'woke' before their time punk throng.Mainly thanks to having a Franglais classical guitarist and karate black belt in their midst,arriving via Guildford.
Frankly, anything with a track by Italian retardo's 'Tampax' on it, has to be worth a quick track skipping listen.
I have reviewed... gulp...."Tampax(in the cunt)" before.......(OMG?)....I paraphrase myself...it's an ultimate example of the kind of retarded sexuality last mentioned in Spinal Tap. Giggling in the classroom, unthink rock by repressed catholic boys who've just heard that ladies have a menstrual cycle, and....giggle....they use tampons....giggle,titter.
This tune is very probably the zenith of Stupid as we understand it. Download it and appall your Woke friends, especially if you don't want them to be your friends anymore;........unless they're the kind of lowdown pond-dwelling fuckwits that Tampax are, then they'll want to be with you forever.
The K9's are the cred giving English Punk band here,even giving Tampax a serious challenge in the ignoramus stakes.
There's even a Noo Yawk 'punk' band too,who sound like an English Punk band????
What The Prats, from Scotland, are doing on here is almost insulting,them being one of the greatest groupz wot ever existed...right?
SEHR SCHNELL do a blatantly plagarised version of Wire's "Lowdown",probably lifted from an imported copy of the "Live at Roxy" Album?
The punk thievery stops not there, as Japanese punk by numbers band ,"The Stalin", do Blitzkreig Bop for us, just in case you've never heard it...which i think they secretly hope you haven't...but we have,so...?
I guess this is someone trying to do something like one of those Killed By Death compilations,which sell in their thousands, and the profits go to some hidden Finnish bank account.
However its fantastically stupid stuff, and full of the kind of things that may get you Cancelled.....a nobler cause I can not imagine.
It's Banned from being sold on Discogs...what more glowing a recommendation do ya need?
Altogether now....."Its Springtime for Belsen and Anarchieeeeee"

Pointless trivia - Japanese band Stalin featured prominently in the post-apocalyptic action musical flick Burst City from 1982

King Chas III wanted to be Camilla's Tampax, must be have been a fan?!?
Basta con la finta morte di Diana!

You can't buy it on Discogs, but you can buy all the original pressings there separately if you've got about £4,000 to spare. Banned because it's a bootleg, presumably.

I'd like to dedicate this one to Plagiarism Queen Claudine Gay, and wish her well on her way to her next lucrative DEI grift.
My reparations cheque for the Highland Clearances is surely in the post.

I agree the Prats were brilliant. Then they learned to play their instruments and promptly began to suck. It happens far too often.

This is great. My 7 year old is very fond of Disco Pope. Didn't you once do a list of Outsider Punk for some magazine? The Valves? Ein zwei drei vier

Hitler was a piss artist
OK?
Yeah did an outsider punk thing for Record Collector about ten years ago.Done a couple of interviews for Record collector.....they misquoted me on everything I said.This is what its like for those celebrities moaning about the free press.....i thought it was funny.
Your Kid has impeccable taste....there is hope after all?

The K9s eh. I used to see their name graffiti'd on walls as an 11 year old (grew up in Rdg for my sins) alongside that of General Accident - another storied local punk group - but never got to see either of them and they'd split by the time I was going to gigs 'unaccompanied'. Anyway by the time I actually got to hear the K9 Hassle single I was slightly disappointed, having built them up in my head as Reading's answer to UK Subs. Or something. Nowadays it's an amusing enough curio though.

INITIATIVE LET'S CONTINUE IN BLOGGER

Hello music lover friend, I'm trying to make ourselves known and thus have more followers. For this I have created the initiative 'Let's continue on Blogger'

The initiative is designed to create a small community of music blogs of all genres that know each other and collaborate with each other, in addition to helping new bloggers who are taking their first steps in this world, like us.

You just have to read the instructions at this link http://bit.ly/4aALZkY

And don't forget to make it known, the more people know it, the better.

The comment you can leave is this example: Hello! I am also part of this initiative. Thank you for stopping by my blog and following it; I'm back and here to stay. I hope you like the content.

Excellent content on your Blog.
All the best! Blues Hendrix

Apart from a tune or two, a terrible havoc on what once was punk. The kindest thing I can say.

This is a refreshing change from my recent obsession with a bunch of Beach Boys soundboard recordings from 1967. Overall, the Captain* was on fire, while the rest of the boys were kinda sloppy--but (to paraphrase Phil Lynott), man, I still think them cats are great!

Funnily, a lot of this stuff sounds a bit like pre-Summer Days Beach Boys--minus the sophistimucated vocal harmonies. What's with all the guitar solos? It's like they're trying to be shitty versions of the Minutemen or something.

* Yes, the late, great Captain Daryl Dragon--latterly of the Captain and Tennille.

Re: misquoted comments. Did you ever watch that Kunt and the Gang documentary? He complains about a newspaper piece that describes him as a "racist"--it was supposed to say "rapist", apparently.
