VARIOUS ARTISTS Valley Blvd LP

£18.00

Absolutely killer L.A/SoCal Punk comp along the lines of Posh Boy's legendary 'Beach Blvd' LP. 14 unreleased demo/studio tracks 1983-1986 from the San Gabriel Valley, mostly from bands of the Mad Parade stable. THE STEPS played bratty and snotty hard-edged punk/pop and produced a scarce, privately-distributed 7" in 1985 , MAD PARADE contribute five outtakes in their familiar anthemic O.C- meets-UK melodic style, whilst CHAINSAW POP from 1986 weigh in with three tracks of darkly-tinged melodic punk. Razorcake aptly called this "pure, undiluted thug-pop" and rightly point out that, had this been released back in the 80's at the time of it's recording, it would have had the collectors slobbering. Pink vinyl edition with insert
