[KJ] OT: Shriekback vs. Minutemen?

[Stephen Robinson]

That could have come from me, I did a burn from the orginal Rekkid. Yes it
does sound better than the CD and the ORGINAL posters  views reflect mine of
Shriekback.


"One becomes moral as soon as one is unhappy" (Marcel Proust, 1918).



I got that disc too (I know Ari from another list btw).  Oddly enough I've
played that Shriekback gig over and over and hardly ever listened to the
Joke one.

I liked Nemesis at the time
but Shriekback seem dated now

My friend Ari Britt burnt me a CD of a BB
transcription disc which had a Shriekback gig on one
side and a Killing Joke gig on the other.

I've played the Killing Joke tracks to death but only
plyed SBack once...

Some of the KJ turned up on the Live at Reading CD,
but that was mastered so badly that this burn from
vinyl sounds better!
