The Spaghetti Incident?


I'm not posting the Guns N Roses covers album The Spaghetti Incident? (1993)

Instead I've trawled through my old files and compiled the tracks as performed by the original artists. Beware of variable bitrate!


Since I don't Have You- The Skyliners. New Rose- The Damned. Down On The Farm- UK Subs. Human Being- The New York Dolls. Raw Power- The Stooges. Ain't It Fun- The Dead Boys. Buick Mackane- T-Rex. Big Dumb Sex- Soundgarden. Hair of the Dog- Nazareth. Attitude- The Misfits. Black Leather- The Professionals. You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory- Johnny Thunders. I Don't Care About You- Fear. Look At Your Game Girl- Charles Manson.

The Damned- Another Great Record From The Damned (1981)


I was a schoolboy punk rocker...
This is an indespensible record from those heady days of hedgehog haircuts, handmedowns and halfmasters.
When I make a vinyl rip (and this is one) I really can't be arsed to fiddle about making a composite scan of the sleeve. Why no 12" square scanner beds? So I usually pinch an image off Discogs or Amazon or anywhere else.
The thing is I couldn't find a decent pic for this one.
Very low resolution:

I notice also that Dave is in a different pose ?
Too many line up changes during the years covered by this compilation to list here...

John Peel Show- Punk Rock Special December 10th 1976. Fixed Link.


…an injection of energy and crudity into a rock scene that’s been painfully smug and complacent … Peel on punk.
On December 10th 1976 John Peel devoted his show to the punk rock scene. Readers may well be familiar with the music featured, and the records that Peel plays here might be accessible, but this is a good listen for Peel’s observations on what punk was about and how it was revitalising music . The inclusion of tracks by American progenitors such as the New York Dolls supports the notion that creative movements are about evolution rather than revolution, despite what their champions would have you believe.
