Another excellent rarity introduced to ASFM by Bruce Rhodes, and as this one is so good, please leave a comment to thank him for sharing. Only a thousand of these released and it goes for a few 'bob' just found one for $83 (too much for me).I'm not gonna write much on Pathetix as its all been done over on Detour, follow the link for the full story.
This was their debut, self published, home made release (link above will explain about how home made) and what a classic it is. Ever since Bruce
sent it, I have been playing it again and again. A three track EP with "Aliester Crowley" the stand out track, the other two are OK but I must admit I have hardly played them as I'm stuck on the a-side. Maybe one of you out there can listen to all three tracks and come back with a more balanced opinion, and leave a comment.Also, thanks to Bruce, you get the covers and the lyrics on the insert below.
Band: Patehtix
Label: No Good
Year: 1978
Tracks
1. Aliester Crowley
2. Don't Touch My Machine
3. Snuffed It
Ripped from Bruce's glorious scratched vinyl:
Please if any of these don't sound right, then leave a comment, Bruce and myself had some fun with the speeds (one side of the EP is 33 and the other 45, you can guess) and I hope I haven't mixed up any of the tracks with all of the different versions that were kicking around on my PC, I think I uploaded the right ones.
I don't know why this hasn't been released, but someone out there should get this released on a collection of classic punk rarities.
