Death/The 4th Movement (1973-1979) – 2 Fan Albums

For those not in the know, fan albums are the attempts of me and many others to take songs and put them on an album, typically they’re made to improve upon something, such as an existing album or to take non-album tracks and put them on an album.

Death is a classy early punk band that packed politically charged lyrics with aggressive and funky playing. They’re great players, which shows in a lot of my favorite songs of theirs being instrumentals. Still, “Politicians In My Eyes” is an iconic track. Their catalog is a bit confusing. It consists of the occasional non-album single and three LPs recorded with the classic lineup, one of which was not released for decades; then they reformed without their deceased guitarist David Hackney and are still actively recording. On top of all this, the bundle has gone through many name changes. I’ve defined the band as whatever includes its two constant members, Bobby Hackney on bass and vocals and Dannis Hackney on drums. Another amusing discovery is that before David died, the other two members formed a new band called “Lambs Bread” and released several obscure albums. If you consider that even in the music labeled “Death” the guitarist changed, then there’s no reason not to consider Lambs Bread more of Death. The cherry on top is that the guitarist of reformed Death, Bobbie Duncan, had played in Lambs Bread. It is worth noting that much of Lambs Bread is so obscure that I couldn’t find it online. I will still list the info I found.

Another frustrating fact is that while a lot of 70s classic lineup demo material has been released, some doesn’t come with a recording date. The release with this problem is listed as being cut vaguely from 1974 to 1976. It’s also said to mostly predate the band’s 1975 studio recordings. How I’ve ordered things, any song without a known recording year I’ll assume is 1976, which leaves one album’s worth of material with confirmed dates of some 1973 or 1975 and a follow up. However, I suspect that if I did have all the dates the first album would be the 1973 tracks and a ton of demos, then the second would be the studio sessions and what came after. Fortunately, the sequences I’ve made are still strong regardless.

TRACKLISTING

SIDE A

  1. “Introduction By David” (Recorded 1975)
  2. “People Save the World” (Recorded 1973)
  3. “RockFire Funk Express” (Recorded 1973)
  4. “Free” (Recorded 1975)
  5. “Bobby Bassing It” (Recorded 1975)
  6. “First Snowball In Detroit” (Recorded 1975)
  7. “Keep on Knocking” (Recorded 1975)

SIDE B

  1. “Rock-N-Roll Victim” (Recorded 1975)
  2. “Let the World Turn” (Recorded 1975)
  3. “You’re a Prisoner” (Recorded 1975)
  4. “Freakin Out” (Recorded 1975)
  5. “Where Do We Go from Here???” (Recorded 1975)
  6. “Politicians in My Eyes” (Recorded 1975)

Alternate ideas for this album title were the group’s early name RockFire Funk Express, their first album’s name …For the Whole World to See, or my Spotify playlist Introduction By David. I picked the one I did as it’s been a little joke that’s run through my mind for a while. This album is a bit longer than I’d have liked, but some of the band’s completed albums are similarly lengthy. Also note that for the World album, originally Death were to record twelve tracks, but only got to do seven. This resulted in a little under thirty minutes. Thus, you can imagine that those twelve songs may have totaled around forty-five minutes if completed. Another concern is that the album is front loaded with too many instrumentals, but I wanted to preserve the actual sequencing for World within this one. Otherwise, I might have moved one of the instrus to around the middle of side b.

There are modern-era live recordings and a documentary for those interested. Considering how there are no released demos of the studio material of the 70s and 80s other than just once, I bet there are some that were recorded, but not released. Hopefully they will be in due time. More new music, such as LPs, would also be nice.

This is a passion of mine and if one person likes what I do, I’ll feel honored. I like suggestions on what artist to cover next, so if you know of one you’d like me to look at, feel free to suggest ‘em!

Misfits (1977-1981) – 2 Fan Albums

For those not in the know, fan albums are the attempts of me and many others to take songs and put them on an album, typically they’re made to improve upon something, such as an existing album or to take non-album tracks and put them on an album.

This project became a bit of a mess. I wanted to cover the many, many alternate versions of tracks. Just like Black Flag, Misfits loved to go in the recording studio just to do the same songs over and over, with most not released until compilations many years later. The various Box Sets are sequenced absurdly, with them being sorted in a very strange order. Releases claiming to be comprehensive tended to miss things. Also like Black Flag, Misfits is just okay. I think on average Danzig’s Conservative Merry-Men are better, for all their absurdity, but Damaged is still solid.

The first two albums are my fan albums (which feature no overlap with the two proper (extremely short) LPs), followed by a chronological mix of official albums and self-made compilations of alternate versions for those that don’t want to leave anything behind, other than the post-Danzig era.

Believe it or not, but Static Age is one of my all time favorite album covers. The music itself is okay. Halloween is a bit better, and the rest I’ve heard is just whatever, but I’ll still raise a glass to that cover.

The Stooges (1969-1973) – 2 Fan Albums

For those not in the know, fan albums are the attempts of me and many others to take songs and put them on an album, typically they’re made to improve upon something, such as an existing album or to take non-album tracks and put them on an album.

The Stooges are one of the all time great rock bands. Personally, that’s mainly off the strength of their middle effort, Fun House. Still, it was clear there was more to love. There are a lot of live recordings and stray tracks, so it’d be fun to see what can be done, especially because many have given a shot at what could be called the “fourth” Stooges album. My love is mainly with the classic lineup of singer Iggy Pop, bassist Dave Alexander, guitarist Ron Asheton, and drummer Scott Asheton, so I wanted to see what we could cook from them mainly.

On top of their two studio albums, I found eight stray tracks. Two live 1970 tracks are “Going to Ungano’s” and “Have Some Fun”/“My Dream Is Dead”. They suffer from poor sound quality and the first not being a song. However they’re still fun listens, so I’ve linked to them in their natural environment, Live at Ungano’s, August 17, 1970. Two tracks I hear are from 1968 are actually from 1971, “Ron’s Jam” and “What’s You Gonna Do”. Apparently two members of the Stooges, including famous singer Iggy Pop, were absent from these, so they’re getting tossed. The remaining four make for a surprisingly lengthy album of thirty-four minutes. It will be listed below with the surrounding albums. While noticeably less cohesive, it’s still a fine listen.

Alexander was later replaced. Nothing came of this period between him leaving and the first breakup other than some live recordings that weren’t released for a long time. I am not very fond of these due to low quality. There might be unreleased material with or without Alexander I don’t know about. I’m highlighting the following releases as they contain songs not featured elsewhere.

The band then famously reunited with James Williamson on guitar, Ron moved to bass, and the gang retitled “Iggy and the Stooges”. I was able to get one album’s worth of high quality strays for the follow-up to Raw Power that would’ve made a slightly lesser, but still solid installment. In parentheses are the compilations these are sourced from or some other identifier.

Now what of other tracks recorded around this time, sometimes of high fidelity? Well, I either found those other ones really poor songs or more often poor quality. I also didn’t want to bother sifting through the countless releases compiling various live tracks and other oddities, but just know they’re there if you like fuzzy guitar riffs and yelling. My current game is collecting stray tracks, so I thought of an idea.

Let’s say Iggy and the gang breakup, as happened in real life, then the record company asked for another album. Having no desire or ability to make a sixth studio album, and to embrace the punk rock spirit, Iggy took those low quality strays and made a giant and unlistenable compilation. Worried this would damage his career, he credited it as “Twiggy and the Tooges”. He also did himself a favor and got to work on the Kill City album. This album is two and three-quarters hours long. If it was released, it probably would have taken up about four LPs. Note that there’s no rhyme or reason to what versions of songs are picked. (I also don’t count this as a “fan album”. No way I’m relistening to these to make sure they’re sequenced well.)

Kill City is not a Stooges album. It’s a collaboration between the two main minds of the latter day Stooges. It’s also a forgotten oddity, so for my money worthy of being featured. It, like all the other material, showcases Iggy and his gang as not perfect Gods of rock, but those that experimented and at times failed. Still, just because some of this is not perfect doesn’t mean it’s not sharp and helps to define five great musicians from Motor City. You could call them the Motor City Five. Attached below is my friend, Ken’s, concept for a follow-up to Raw Power. I had no part in this.

Black Flag (1978-1985) – 5 Fan Albums

For those not in the know, fan albums are the attempts of me and many others to take songs and put them on an album, typically they’re made to improve upon something, such as an existing album or to take non-album tracks and put them on an album.

Black Flag is a band that started off with a lot of recordings and not a lot of albums. Eventually they stabilized with few strays and a lot of albums. It seemed like a fun challenge to sort this all out despite not being terribly fond of the band. The product of the early tracks is an album I’m calling Nervous Breakdown. It contains every unique track pre-Damaged, not including anything re-recorded later. Surprisingly, the result is a shockingly short twenty minutes. Due to a lot of historically relevant alternate versions being left on the chopping block, I made an album of those alternates. There’s enough recordings between these two to make three full LPs. In between Damaged and My War are more alternates and four unique cuts. I decided to make a very short EP and a fuller alternate version album. Finally, two 1985 EPs are combined to create a disparate album, but not anymore than the official My War or Family Man. Minuteflag is left as an EP due to it being a collab with Minutemen and thus it’s own thing. Also, the alternate versions albums haven’t been listened to and were merely ordered in as close to recording date as possible.

In parentheses is the release a track came from.

The Clash – Band on the Run (1979) Album Edit (Take 1)

For those not in the know, fan albums are the attempts of me and many others to take songs and put them on an album, typically they’re made to improve upon something, such as an existing album or to take non-album tracks and put them on an album.

The Clash had a healthy amount of recordings in 1979. This album covers the 1979 period roughly. “Pressure Drop” is from 1978 and “Armagideon Time” is absent due to being recorded in late 1979, it’ll be included on the next fan album. The Clash had a lot of non-album singles which covered the first fan album and this one here. Non-album singles will become less common starting here. I like when each side of an album has a different feel, such as with the first Minor Threat fan album of mine, where each side was recorded a few months apart. Side a of this fan album are singles and side b consists of London Calling demos. Most of the demos would be refined into London Calling songs. The exception is “Walking the Slidewalk”, which is an LC demo, but is at the end of side a, due to fitting better there. Admittedly, most of the demos are not good enough in the state they exist in. If they had been committed to, they would’ve ultimately been more polished and professional sounding. I include them here as my goal is to cover every Clash song not on their proper studio albums. If you want just the professional stuff, just listen to the first five cuts here. That being said, I wouldn’t call the demos valueless. There’s some interesting cuts here.

Originally, this would be titled “Capital Radio”, but upon finding the above art, I changed it to the name already on it. Frustratingly, the official YouTube upload of “Capital Radio Two” is just called “Capital Radio”, making it easy to confuse it with “Capital Radio One”.

This album marks the beginning of a new era for the Clash. Their first two official albums and my first fan album were strictly punk. This is the beginning of the post-punk era. Unlike with the first era, the first album of it isn’t the best, but Band on the Run is a good sign of what’s to come. The next album in line after Band on the Run is the famous London CallingLondon Calling‘s follow-up will be covered next time.

For those not in the know, fan albums are the attempts of me and many others to take songs and put them on an album, typically they’re made to improve upon something, such as an existing album or to take non-album tracks and put them on an album.

The Clash have quite a lot of stray tracks. They’ve got enough to make six single disc fan albums. I’d like to have at least one double album. Here we have eleven strays which mostly consist of singles and b-sides. Every track here was recorded after The Clash’s first album with the possible exception of “1977”. Due to this, this should be listened to after the band’s first album, but before their second.

The tracklisting here was somewhat based on the fan album by “Albums That Should Exist”. You can see his take on these tunes here: https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2018/08/the-clash-clash-city-rockers-various.html

Minor Threat – Out Of Step (1983) Album Edit

Minor Threat - Out Of Step (Vinyl) | AndVinyl Records

For those not in the know, fan albums are the attempts of me and many others to take songs and put them on an album, typically they’re made to improve upon something, such as an existing album or to take non-album tracks and put them on an album.

My laptop broke and I don’t plan on replacing it soon, so my fan albums will be less frequent. The 1981 recordings of Minor Threat were covered on my previous fan album, The First 2′ 7” and now I’m here to finish off the band. Interestingly, all their studio recordings are either from 1981 or 1983. The ‘83 recordings compose their “LP”, (I’d consider it an EP) Out of Step and their last EP, Salad Days. These two records don’t have great flow because Salad Days is slower than the rest of Minor Threat. However, each of the three songs is faster than the one before it, so I put Salad before the Out of Step songs. It’s an interesting experience where each song gets faster, preparing you for the pretty fast Step album. My lack of a computer means I can’t make my own covers with any ease, so I’m using Out of Step’s. I do like this cover and title a lot.

This is a passion of mine and if one person likes what I do, I’ll feel honored. I like suggestions on what artist to cover next, so if you know of one you’d like me to look at, feel free to suggest ‘em!

Minor Threat – The First 2′ 7” (1981) Album Edit

For those not in the know, fan albums are the attempts of me and many others to take songs and put them on an album, typically they’re made to improve upon something, such as an existing album or to take non-album tracks and put them on an album.

Minor Threat was recommended to me by friends and what a pleasant experience they are. The quick, angry punk is very tight and says a lot in a little. These 16 songs total under 25 minutes. This fan album has four sources; the band’s first two EPs and two compilation albums that each include two songs. My listening order of 1st EP > “Stand Up”, “12XU”, 2nd EP > “Understand”, “Asshole Dub” was good, but it could be improved for better flow.

“Minor Threat”, which closed the first EP, was a perfect ending to the whole thing, so it was moved to the end. “Asshole Dub” is also a good closer, but it fit better as a side one closer than side two. The other song that shared a compilation album with Asshole is “Understand”. Those two have a decent amount of finality to them. “Stand Up” and “12XU” are good starter songs. The 2nd EP’s tunes didn’t have any good starters or closers, so “12XU” opens side b. The 2nd EP’s closer is “Steppin’ Stone”, which really lacks the needed punch the closer should have. The side b stuff was recorded months later than side a except for “Minor Threat”, so there’s a subtle stylistic change between sides.

The cover is a picture often used on compilation albums of the band. The title is a little pun of my creation. The two featured EPs are sometimes listed together as “The First Two Seven Inches”, so the title is a joke based on that. The bonus features are some goodies that seemed appropriate. There’s some early demos, a live album, and the second half of the live album, which features a different band. Seeing as the different band songs were with the MT ones originally, it was fair to keep them. This set should compile all the non-live recordings from 1980-1982. There may be more live recordings unallocated, but I didn’t care enough to give an in-depth look.

This is a passion of mine and if one person likes what I do, I’ll feel honored. I like suggestions on what artist to cover next, so if you know of one you’d like me to look at, feel free to suggest ‘em!

The Sex Pistols – Are Back (1978) Album Edit

This is not a great album. The Sex Pistols Are Back is a prime example of leaving the weakest tracks off the album. Oftentimes, the excised material is just as good as the featured, such as with The Zombies and Syd Barrett. The recordings present here span from 1976 to 1978. Featured is every Sex Pistols song that’s sung by Johnny Rotten, plus not on their excellent only studio album, Nevermind The Bollocks, and not a live track. Conveniently, there’s exactly twelve tracks to work with, being the same number of tracks as on the last album. Each side has its own feel. Side a are tracks from the Nevermind The Bollocks sessions or before. Some of the songs are really good, like “Satellite” and some seem poorly executed, like “No Fun”. The main drawback is that Johnny Rotten doesn’t always seem to be trying. The backing band, though not always at their best, does appear to be doing the best they can and never are incompetent, unlike Rotten. Side b features tracks from the band’s kinda second album, The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle, which was conceptualized after Johnny left the band. For that album, there’s some old songs, some new songs, and some with Johnny vocals from demos given overdubs. I’m shocked that tracks like “Johnny B Goode” or “Road Runner” made the cut due to how poorly Johnny’s singing, but then again here we are.

The head canon behind this album is that instead of doing the compilation album Swindle, the band decided to pull together all the Johnny they can for a second album. There’s even a nice little photo of the band with Johnny to tie the concept together. The next fan album will cover all the songs without Johnny Rotten, with there being an album’s worth of them. Overall, I’m glad Are Back wasn’t actually released as it’d be a stain on the band’s reputation. The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle, being a compilation album, is easier to ignore than a second studio album. For a Sex Pistols fan, this isn’t the worst experience. One can enjoy the nonsense and a few actually good songs, but casual fans can move along.
