New Criminals volumes one and two

[graham]

Those fine folks at the Kill Your Pet Puppy web site have made available in their entirity both of the New Criminals compilation cassettes I released in conjunction with my fanzine New Crimes back in 1891 and 1982 respectively. Included are local delights such as The Sinyx, Stripey Zebras, The Get, 86 Mix, Train Fares and Enola Death, as well as classic early and demo recordings by bands including Flux of Pink Indians, Subhumans (in fact it was through this tape that Colin of Flux first heard The Subhumans and subsequently gave them a record deal), Cold War, 12 Cubic Feet, The Apostles, etc, etc. A veritable nostalgia feast if I may be so humble as to say so myself, and amazing to see these turn up nearly 30 years later, I'm amazed copies are still in existance!

I had completely forgotten about the enola death recordings in my shed but they sound good

was it just me and you on the enola death recording

Hi wayne, it was also Chris Kemp on bass (or was it 'drums' in this particular permutation??), also Sam Fulton on vocals on some early songs (Mr Skinhead was a classic - in retrospect probably our best song - I wonder if I still have a recording??? Would be great to upload it!) to be honest the exact line up escapes my befuddled brain now... I think even my folkie/Jethro Tull fan friend Rob Goodwin was in one permutation of Enola Death, lord knows why or how that happened???
